- weirddave, on 07/01/2009, -0/+4"Two types of insects bear Ford's name. Scientists named a spider species after the actor to thank him for narrating a documentary for the London Museum of Natural History. The ant species was named after Ford to honor his conservation work."
I'd have thought that a science writer for popular mechanics would know what an insect is. - PhoenixFlames, on 07/01/2009, -1/+5I guess and extinct animal could now be renamed Michael Jackson.
- ImYourRealDad, on 07/01/2009, -0/+4What makes them the "Top?"

- Talal, on 07/01/2009, -1/+3A lichen isn't a species. It's a symbiotic relationship between fungi and a photosynthetic species such as algae.
- BAM22, on 07/01/2009, -0/+1too soon?
- m0n0kr0m3, on 07/02/2009, -0/+1It's a lichen, which is a symbiotic relation between fungus and algae.
- MarcCiborowski, on 07/01/2009, -1/+2Agathidium quartet. The dark side is strong in them.
- icanhasgossip16, on 07/01/2009, -1/+2And this is why I don't study science. I get the whole binomialnomenclature (spelt wrong and I had to spell it in bio) and latin is a dead language why bring in presidents and previous ones. It has no point. It's not going to make people want to study biology and it's subcatagories.
- Tzen, on 07/01/2009, -1/+2What is Caloplaca obamae? Is that pond scum?
- hivoltage815, on 07/01/2009, -1/+2I love how politically charged this article is. You could easily slant it the other direction and say "Obama is a yucky fungus with no level of intelligence."
Just thought its funny how political undertones pervade every part of our culture. - icanhasgossip16, on 07/01/2009, -1/+0Nothing. They say "Top" to make us fall for the article and read it. My computer didn't load the other half thank goodness
- MarcCiborowski, on 07/01/2009, -2/+1Lol.You made me spit out my vitamin water!
- scoottie, on 07/01/2009, -3/+215,000 new species every year? I thought all life on this planet was going extinct due to global warming.i
- Satualanus69, on 07/01/2009, -5/+1Agathidium bushi ***** is the correct terminology
