Todays, earth science quiz

[thecrazyone]

Todays news reports a new island of volcanic origin has appeared in the Pacific Ocean near Tonga.

Todays Quiz: What will be the 1st land-based (non-flying) creatures to colonize that island?

First correct answerer will win reps, incorrect answerers will be put to death.

[ZEDEX32]

Humans

[SloWRX]

bacteria/viruses.....

[2.0civic]

bacteria/viruses.....CORRECT

[ZEDEX32]

"bacteria/viruses....." Yo I think they can glide if not fly:thinking:

[ZEDEX32]

Ya know, like polen.

[thecrazyone]

bacteria/viruses.....

No incorrect! keep guessing...


Hint #1: If the island has existed for more than a few days, there's almost certainly at least of these creatures already there.
Hint #2: If there are more than one, and they can't find any other prey, they'll eat each other.

[2.0civic]

coral reef?

[2.0civic]

kinda like the barrier islands and austrailia?

[Leadfoot_mf]

crabs from your moma

[thecrazyone]

no coral reef.
not crabs.
ist not marine life,

The creatures I'm talking about lives almost their entire life on dry land. and mostly never need water.

Hint #3: some subspecies of this creature spend their entire life in water. But that's only a tiny tiny percentage.

[2.0civic]

its a trick question....cause bacteria would be the first "non flying" breeding creatures on the surface....and i googled this shit and it said coral reef

[teggy 2nr]

roaches

edit: nevermind, they fly

[thecrazyone]

its a trick question....cause bacteria would be the first "non flying" breeding creatures on the surface....and i googled this shit and it said coral reef

these are creatures that move about on legs, hunt and kill prey.

[teggy 2nr]

no fair, this aint earth science... this be biology!!!

[teggy 2nr]

lizards?

[~The_Duke~]

Aliens damn it, it has to be aliens!!!

[teggy 2nr]

Aliens damn it, it has to be aliens!!!

aliens like illegal immigrants? LOL

[Kyle]

aliens like illegal immigrants? LOL

haha, they never need water, unless they are using it to immigrate. It works. I think you won!!

[~The_Duke~]

I am telling ya it fits all of the hints...

[Kyle]

You have definately won, now where are your points?

[~The_Duke~]

I dont know...

[ZEDEX32]

Turtles!

[eViLMunkey]

Mel Gibson!

[teggy 2nr]

Turtles!


wtf, they're considered marine life u turd!!

illegal aliens ftw!!!


now where's the thread starter? i want my points....im tired of being lame...

[eViLMunkey]

Bill Gates...

[thecrazyone]

1 hour left till i have to tell yall the answer. if no one gets it right ill give out reps to the closest answer and any other good answers.

[teggy 2nr]

no water?...dont tell me its a koala

[Nittanys1]

Arthropods

[Mr_Mischif]

Man or Rats

[Jecht]

Frogs?

[~The_Duke~]

if it isnt aliens it has got to be fire ants, those bitches are everywhere...

[Nittanys1]

frogs grow up in the water...and would need it from time to time

[Nittanys1]

if it isnt aliens it has got to be fire ants, those bitches are everywhere...


I was going to guess that

[Jecht]

Crocodiles/alligators? lol I'm trying to make somewhat educated guesses here. There aren't too many things that either live on land for most of their life and still have close relatives that live in the water. :D

[Mr_Mischif]

But then you have to remember how they get there in the first place; through the water, which would most likely rule out ants.

[Leadfoot_mf]

spiders

[Leadfoot_mf]

snails

[~The_Duke~]

But then you have to remember how they get there in the first place; through the water, which would most likely rule out ants.

You mean to tell me that you have never seen an ant walk on water...

[Kyle]

those lizards that run on water.

[ZEDEX32]

Snakes!

[teggy 2nr]

yea and some ants can fly...

[Mr_Mischif]

You mean to tell me that you have never seen an ant walk on water...

I cannot say that I have, but even if they can, I'm believing that the island is at least 1 mile away from everything else, and while an ant would be able to walk on calm water, I doubt it'll be able to get through a mile of rough seas.

[teggy 2nr]

Snakes!


he said they walk on legs.....

[MachNU]

There is no answer to this. If the island just came up the first thing on the island that can walk will be Humans!!! Nothing from the sea other than craps and turtles and shit like that would come up and be on the island. Other than that theres nothing else that could get on it!!!!!

[Kyle]

I was thinking the same, but figured only a douche would make a trick question quiz. and plus humans were already guessed.

[teggy 2nr]

he said it was close to tonga so i went and looked up autralian animals, only the koala and the goanna fits his description

[MachNU]

Well i found about 67 news reports all say the same thing. The island has jsut started and is still growing. So that leads to extremem heat and dangerous conditions, i cant think of many things that can meet those conditions. So it has to be humans or no answer at all!!!!

[Jecht]

Tell us what it is already, thecrazyone!

[Kyle]

All this work and his rep points are probably worth 1. Well whatever I am still interested to find the answer.

[thecrazyone]

no no and no..
Hint #4"
They are one of earth's most widely-dispersed creatures, you see them often.
In fact, it's said that 99.9% of people are never more than 6 feet away from at least one.

[MachNU]

[teggy 2nr]

[teggy 2nr]

i already said roaches... read page one

[MachNU]

Rats could be right there is such things as Water Rats that live alot of there life in water. Also since that pumice sheets are strong enough to hold a small rat, and most liekly there are a few aboard each ship, i bet it is rats as well!
