Today Norway launched a program to save the words crops by storing 268,000 seed samples of the world crops in a vault blasted from icy artic rock so that they can be safe from global warming or other catastrophies. This has odd written all over it and the very fact that this is being done sends my mind into the "what if" mode. This article sounds like the start of a Sci-Fi story. I think it would be cooler if Norway would take another 268,000 seed samples and blast them safely into space, maybe on the moon. Why do I advocate this action? Because the Sci-Fi story would work better that way. Seeds are blasted into space, what happens next? Do they land on a distant planet, break open and terraform that distant planet. Does it wind up on another inhabited planet only to be seen as an attack by earth because our seeds displace that planets plant life and threatens their food supplies? Maybe the seeds could develop some form of intelligence, return to earth and enslave mankind. This has "B" movie, straight to DVD written all over it. Our great, great, great, great grandchildren may come to remember this day as the day the human race was saved. For now it is odd enough to be the Odd News Award winner of the day.
