I'm sorry to tell you this but you've posted your question in the lounge. All the regulars here have actually shed physical form so this is a real lounge to us. We live as part of the internet so we have access to all online information at the point we need it so our essays write themselves. We don't need any help with that thanks.

With Griff's imagination, the imaginary ones will be even better, I imagine.

Quote: The International Potato Center (CIP) launched a series of experiments to discover if potatoes can grow under Mars atmospheric conditions and thereby prove they are also able to grow in extreme climates on Earth.
[^]
you will never imagine the surprise
on that night in the wasteland sand
of Cydonia near Arandus Crater when
i came across spuds with alien eyes
these unsmiling eyes were not Irish,
and, they'd never make a Happy Meal;
as they began to eat my DNA, i said:
on Earth you'd make a gourmand dish
when their feast on me's over, they
complained my brain wasn't as salty
as those delicious wheels and gears
they munched on from the Mars Rover
scientists forgot how nature abhors
crossing vegetables with carnivores
«When I consider my brief span of life, swallowed up in an eternity before and after, the little space I fill, and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant, and which know me not, I am frightened, and am astonished at being here rather than there; for there is no reason why here rather than there, now rather than then.» Blaise Pascal

If the goal is "prove they are also able to grow in extreme climates on Earth" wouldn't it be more sensible (easier, less expensive, completely relevant results) to just test that directly?
Methinks I'll apply for a scientist job at the CIP, clearly they have a lot of free time, a huge research budget and likely well paid.

I'm guessing someone just got round to watching The Martian[^] and thought "Hey! Free potato related publicity!"
But then, I am a cynical old OriginalGriff.

Way too "programmable (by idiots) muzak", for me.
I'll stick with Ponchiellian hippopotomi[^]

What do you have against programmable music? Floppotron[^] is awesome 
|
|
|
|

I don't like programmed painting or books written by computers, either.
That ain't what computers are for, but they're great news for the lazy and untalented.
If you want to produce art, you work at it for years -- decades, even. You don't download an app to do it for you.

So everybody´s work that does not meet your requirements of art is an idiot´s work? really?
ok, i like it being an idiot.
i´d rather be an idiot instead of being ignorant and snotnosed...
No offence...

Be as personally insulting as you like, and feel free to feel insulted by simple truths, but art is art, and guys who spend half an hour knocking up repetitive junk with a computer cannot, by any stretch of the imagination, be defined as artists.
Technicians? Sure. But it no more art than a washing machine is.
Maybe if you'd spent half your life learning to play an instrument, paint, sculpt, or write well, you'd appreciate that -- and feel the same kind of disgust when some snot-nosed kid says that his CG garbage is art.
How do you feel when script kiddies tell you that they're great software developers?

Sorry, but if you´d listened to the complete mix, you might had recognized, that it includes a lot of vocal from some very talented singers, which has absolutely nothing to do with repetitive junk.
this music was composed in the same way as one would compose music for a cello and piano...
btw, mike oldfield knocks up electric music since the early seventies, by your definition he is nothing more than a musicrelated "script kiddy"!?
sorry, but that´s ridiculous...
and, lastly, to quote myself:

Oldfield is a musician -- and you can bet your life that computers weren't used to compose Tubular bells.
An electronic instrument is not a computer; it's an instrument.

mike used the fairlight cmi in the eighties (also peter gabriel, kate bush, frank zappa et al), so in that point i correct my statement...
apart form that, again, if you don´t like the music, simply don´t listen to it.
another simple truth... -.-

One of my favorite bass solos is in the song "Flight of the Cosmic Hippo", performed by Victor Wooten in the band Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. He plays a fretless five-string bass and that song can give a subwoofer a really good workout.

I'll give that one a listen.

Not my cup of tea but it was listenable (if that's a word) much prefer this:-
Primus - Southbound Pachyderm - YouTube[^]
It has elephants AND rhinos AND hippos - and also features (Mark Wallace) real instruments and a great video

in fact i never heard of them, but indeed:
cool music and great video...

Do you know how hard is the open the clenched fist of a 22 years old - mentally ill - child, who got into an extreme mood about some cookies?
That fist was holding the hair of my daughter... Two was sitting on him and we had to have to open each finger one-by-one... We were six... And we all strong - around 100 Kg - grown men... He just was beyond any pain...
She went to sleep crying...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Not on the same level... my daughter is autistic; when she has a meltdown episode, its hard to get her out of it... you just have to wait for the electrical storm in her brain to subside.
Then, the storm shorted short term memory and she doesn't remember it.
