I Think I've Seen this Movie

James Arness played the bug.

'Resurrection bug' revived after 120,000 years - life - 15 June 2009 - New Scientist: "A tiny bacterium has been coaxed back to life after spending 120,000 years buried three kilometres deep in the Greenland ice sheet.

Researchers who found it say it could resemble microbes that may have evolved in ice on other planets."

It's not a " bacterium ", it's a SPORE! Run for your lives!

Endangered species have their own day? Wow. I wonder if the people at GM know about this.
