What are the chances of it being a new mutation?

Buzz,
<them!>
You mean a mutation from the atomic tests?
</them!>

i remember hearing about how there are `new` types of beetles being found in england; ones only usually found in Mediterranean countries, and warmwater sharks/fish species now being found in the north sea...

i believe that that sea has warmed up, also explaining the increase in hurricanes, allowing the migration of warm climate species northward...(though this may actually be a natural 70-year cycle...)

Meanwhile, the wasps are wondering what those people are doing so far north.

We've had bad wasps this year too. We haven't had a cold enough winter in quite a few years to kill them off. The same is true of the pine beetle which is ravaging our forests right now.

Camping this summer when we opened our beers the rule was either cover the can between mouthfulls, or drink through your teeth!!!
