And Now It's Time For ...

Great Moments In B-Movie Science!

In Terror From The Year 5000, a crazy scientist builds a time machine that transports stuff from The Future to Now—and in order to prove this, he sends one of the Future Things to another scientist who determines that the artifact is indeed from 3000 years in the future.

He does this by carbon dating.

Think about it, won’t you?

However, nothing can beat the "Island of Dr. Moreau" ripoff in which they were "accelerating the evolution of apes" by giving them "DNA boosters." Avi (the biology major) started twitching violently at that point.

Then our intrepid hero came upon some of these "evolved apes" and cried in horror, "They've reached the Australopithecus stage!" That was when I lost it and we had to change the channel.

WHAT.

I can see why he was horrified to find apes had their DNA artificially boosted and had reached an Australopithecus stage. That suggests Science is SERIOUSLY borked. A horrific thought, that.

::snort:: Oh yes, I'd be rather concerned if I thought the entire theory of evolution had just been dismantled!
