Comments on: New Microbe Named After Star Wars’ Midichlorians. http://www.neatorama.com/2007/01/10/new-microbe-named-after-star-wars-midichlorians/ The Neat Side of the Web Sat, 10 Jan 2009 00:47:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Storm http://www.neatorama.com/2007/01/10/new-microbe-named-after-star-wars-midichlorians/#comment-64501 Storm Thu, 11 Jan 2007 18:03:28 +0000 http://www.neatorama.com/2007/01/10/new-microbe-named-after-star-wars-midichlorians/#comment-64501 Yes the introduction of those midichlorians was such a cop-out. As a kid I remember The Force being completely plausible to me, like all the parlor tricks in the bible. And then they chickened out in order not to upset the huge ammount of conservative christians in the US. So now it is ruined. Depressing.

Quick, fix it. Mistakenly calling star trek for star wars could bring an end to the space-time continuum as we know it. Every second you mention the force is in Star Trek, millions of children die in a galaxy far far away. ...ok, well maybe not, but still... For the sake of all humanity. Quick, fix it.
