Gobsmacked, I am.

So, it appears that someone is performing experiments to determine the taxonomical status of God.  So far he's figured out that God doesn't belong to any of the three standard domains (Archaea, Bacteria and Eucarya) so he's added one called Divinea into which he's put all of the Hindu and Pagan gods as well as Divineus deus, the Christian god. The big question in this persons mind, is whether Divinea are more closely related to Eucarya, or to Bacteria. The theory is that since Man is in Eucarya, the whole 'in Gods image' thing might mean those two groups are closest. But, if its all just done by evolution, then maybe the Dinvinea are most closely related to the earliest life, the Bacteria...

Now, since he doesn't have any members of Divinea to experiment on, he's been breeding cyanobacteria (Bacteria) and fruit flies (Eucarya) and seeing which are most easily mutated into more god-like specimens...

Ooog. My brain is dripping out my ears.
