Water Bears

Interesting invertebrates, these microscopic animals are cute! They sure do look like Water Bears… although having eight legs instead of four XD They’re called Tardigrades, and they are microscopic beings that float blissfully in water droplets on plants.

They are apparently the World’s Toughest Animal. You can shoot them into space, take them to the deepest ocean depths and let them go, deprive them of air, water, and food for years and they don’t care. Send them into the core of nuclear reactor. They’ll be fine. (link)

And if you wanna hear a really fun song about those little critters, go here. I loved it, it’s quite funny, and the voice garbled is pretty well done.

Also, Life, the Universe, and Everything explained by a Quantum Mechanic. I know some computer and mechanical engineers that might enjoy reading that little article.
