OK, Silver, you aren’t the only one who can tell golf jokes…
Seems there was this man who went out on the links, and on his first shot hit the ball badly sliced. It bounced off the clubhouse roof, hit a tree, and finally caromed onto the green, where it rolled into the hole for an ace.
His golfing companion remarked, “You didn’t tell me you’d been practicing.”
Not only can tardigrades survive high velocities, but they can also survive extreme pressure, temperature, low moisture, low oxygen, radiation and even the vacuum of space. However, they can only do this by entering a compressed, dormant state.
I’m so conditioned to think than man causes every thing bad to happen to the natural world that I figured that the moon landing had something to do with the moon rusting.
24 years ain’t a big deal when lots of Irish folk got dressed up to be in the parade for way longer. My grandad did his St. Paddy’s day parade walk for 50 years. Not as a leprechaun. He was too tall for that.
On an episode of south park, when the NFL was looking for new fans, didn’t they use the Tardigrades as their new fan base.
Water Bears appear in the episode “Moss Piglets” as part of Jimmy and Timmy’s science fair project. They are shown to enjoy Taylor Swift and are later inadvertently altered by Nathan and Mimsy (who were actually trying to kill them), learning to do the “Hokey Pokey” as accurately as their physiology allows.
They are later used by the NFL to fill the seats at Super Bowl games due to declining attendance.
Who says South Park is not educational?
I learned who Taylor Swift is…and she used to date Loki

There is no natural altitude that is the boundary between Earth’s atmosphere and space. The atmosphere just gets thinner and thinner as altitude increases. Humans arbitrarily picked a distance.
Greetings Steve ,Eromlig and other joke telling friends! my story is about three wealthy young men from Texas who are visiting The Big Apple and meet three very attractive young women. The gals are immediately attracted to the guys with their ten gallon hats, expensive hand made boots and their Texas drawl! The first young lady asks her guy “What does your family do in Texas?” He says “my daddy in the cattle bidness. He own four thousand acres of the best grazing land and has ten thousand of the finest hereford cattle in Texas!” Ooooh swoons the young gal “What does he call his place?” He responds “It’s the Big J Ranch and Cattle company!” The second gal asks her date “How bout your family, what do they do?” He says “My daddy own six thousand acres of the richest oil fields in Texas which produces a million gallons of crude oil each day!” Aahh “What is his place called?” He says " It’s called the Big T Petroleum Company and Refinery!" The third young lady can hardly wait to learn more about her guys family’s wealth and asks “What does your family own?” He responds “My daddy own seventy five acres in Texas!” “SEVENTY FIVE ACRES?” What does he call that little place?" The boy says “It’s called downtown Dallas!” So long pahdnas!

One time I survived being shot out of a gun at 3,001 feet per second.
May the Lord be with you.

Tardigrades can survive even the vacuum of outer space and other extreme conditions.

Regarding the moon, just what we need: a second rusty celestial body (the first being the planet Mars)

I’m just intrigued whether the tardigrades will survive if they is shot outta gun in metres per second.

How do you shoot a tardigrade out of a gun and then find it to see it survived??

I guess we better cancel oxygen: we don’t want the moon to rust.
