  • Dude, while stromatolites are not common today, they are not unheard of. There are still some active ones in Australia, Peru and the Bahamas. Every single thing on this planet can trace a direct line from the first live when it evolved. Thus, everything on this planet has the same age. Even if a fossil could suggest that some organism has not changed much for millions of years, we can not look at the cells and their genetic makeup to infer if other significant changes have occurred not reflected by the fossil remains.


  • “unknown prehistoric world” sounds like a major discovery. If the title of the article would have been “stromatolites discovered in remote lagoon from 1 billion years ago” it would not have implied that some new “world” was discovered. If by world we just mean unknown habitats, well voila, everywhere you look there will be unknown prehistoric worlds. Find a fossil of some super known, cosmopolitan species but in a new place, voila, new world yet unknown to men discovered. Idiotic.




















  • We are in the middle of moving to a new city but we managed to still squeeze in some sessions with our current group.

    We played Terraforming Mars for one last time as a 4 player game. Its a bit cursed because I lost once again with a single point. We almost managed to cover the entire planet with structures. Very fun session.

    We also played a 2 player session of Ark Nova - I lost that game but honestly this was good because otherwise my gf just hates the game and we would play it less.

    We also played another 4 player of Burgundy which was our final game with that group.

    Now looking for new players in Barcelona;)
