i have very high heavy metal tolerance... \m/

[Le Nhat Minh]

I also have Heavy Metal Tolerance gene

[Nora DFTBA]

When he said Heavy Metal Resistance I thought for a second he meant the musical genre and that the mice bacame more adapted to loud noises :/ Sometimes my brain does stupid things. :D

[Terraqueous Onkos]

Yes let us introduce a foreign species that's always a good idea.

/sarcasm

Unless they didn't introduce them but it seemed that way.

I think it is true though, compared to the pyramids or the great wall New York (and other great cities) are great achievements, not only for the infrastructure but for the management

[WhatWouldBukowskiDo]

"New York city, not just one of humanities greatest achievements". Humble much?

[Antonio Alvarado]

Don't bother trying to reason with these über-religious scientific ignoramuses. If they could be reasoned with they would not exist.

[TheSimsBrothers]

Is great if you can build big cities without destroyng nature

[Thezuule1]

I love when people claim evolution isn't real after watching a video describing OBSERVABLE cases of evolution...
