I think you're referring to the Drake Equation, but that's more of a thought experiment, there's no way to calculate any of the required probabilities inputted to the equation to be able to calculate the output.

The Piazzagate conspiracy theory was created by bored 4channers to see how ridiculous a story they can invent and how many people will just believe it. I don't think anyone realised it would get as big as it did and then they did it again with Q.

Octopus isn't a Latin derived word but Greek. You can't apply Latin grammar to Greek words.

There is no absolutely correct plural for octopus and in any respect, no grammatical rules should be prescriptivist (you must do this) but prescriptivist (people tend to do this)

Basically red. The names for orange and purple are pretty recent inventions, linguistically speaking. That's why we call them red onions and red grapes when they're purple and most "red" birds are actually orange.

Bold to assume we'll get to third generation descendants.

Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater else you'll end up with a wet, critically injured baby.

I want to see how far you can push performance of the human body, and make the results compete against each other. All the bonkers whacky surgeries you can think of: limb lengthening, bone strengthening, replace their organs with bigger, stronger versions.

All the drugs: hgh, steroids, any performance enhancing substance you can pump into an athlete.

Have sports scientists raise children so that they're born into a dedicated training regime for running or swimming.

Then make them compete against each other in the trans-human olympics. I want to see someone do the 100m in 3 seconds, I want to see someone not have to come up for air during the freestyle, I want someone to throw a javelin 2 miles, I want bioengineered mutants doing gymnastics routines

Anything from Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr Octagon (Kool Keith)

The dense intricate rhyming structure mixed with the sci-fi jazz beats and the off the wall, juvenile lyrics are really unique and creative.
