September 18, 2009 – J. Craig Venter, Ph.D., founder, president and chairman of the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI), has been named a recipient of this year’s National Medal of Science. Dr. Venter will be awarded the Medal from President Obama on October 7 at a White House ceremony

Now, what was Obama giving this most prestigious award to JC Venter for?

So the technical name for Synthia is JVCI syn1.0 Doesn't JCVI = 666 ?
Quoting *Dim*

This was bumped so it is apparently considered important by someone.

It has looked like the entire "Oil Spill" scenario has been a cover up for turning the GOM into a giant algae bed.
Now come the question of what, exactly is Synthia? The only answer I got from Acolyte (who should know) is that that "Synthia is a symptom" OK let's run with that and say the symptom is a runny nose. So a runny nose is going to rise out of the GOM and get us all? How/ No, Synthia is the organism.that delivers the symptom ("Runny nose"). Granted, organism and symptom may have the same name.
Next question is How will it rise out of the sea? Like Godzilla wading across the bay? Or in a cloud of Methane?
I know I raised more questions than I answered but there are some very smart people on this thread so let's see what answers you guys get.
