"Keep doing different things until you find one you love."

That's a quote from my grandfather as it relates to the world of work. But I felt it quite appropriate to this story about Nepalese man working on wife number 25! Turns out 1-24 kept eloping with lovers. It must be hard to have that many women just not GET you. But, you keep on dating women 20 years younger than you and eventually it works out. Congrats Ramchadaran!

BUT

what I really wanted to post about is this: CREATURES FROM EARTH SURVIVING IN SPACE!!! You might be thinking, "Cool story Hansel, but I'm pretty sure we all saw that in 1969 when the Apollo landed on the moon bro." But I'm not talking spacesuits and radiation-proof walls. I'm talking tough-ass critters with the ability to shut down their bodies to survive the most extreme conditions. Basically, they meditate themselves into safety and come back when it's safe. And they're referred to as Water Bears, how cute is that!

Anyways, scientists exposed them to cosmic radiation and the vacuum of space and most of them survived. Some of them even managed to survive the 1000x stronger solar radiation they were exposed to and were able to reproduce successfully upon return to Earth.

So what's the cool thing? Besides being similar to Sea Monkeys in the ability to shut down their metabolic processes, scientists believe that the Water Bears can repair their own DNA to counteract any ill-effects. That means payoff for us humanoids if we can figure out how. Definitely better than this situation.
