Jerusalem Hug Second Time Around: June 24, 2008

When I wrote about last year’s Jerusalem Hug and posted a video about about it, little did I expect the Hug organizers to approach me about making a video promo for tomorrow’s upcoming Hug.

What an honor!

It is an event you will never forget, that I can guarantee.

As for the video promo I made, check it out below and let me know what you think:

And because the species in question is a bacterium, scientists have been able to replay history to show how this evolutionary novelty grew from the accumulation of unpredictable, chance events.
