THE FREAKING AWESOMEIST THING EVER. WHY FACEBOOK EXISTS. On the first day, God created Mousehunt. He then said "O crap, where do I put it?" Thus the earth was born.

The safeguarding of Earth and other worlds from biological cross-contamination (i.e. billionaires with too much time on their hands).

Also known as “planetary protection.” Planetary protection / quarantine “reflects both the unknown nature of the space environment and the desire of the scientific community to preserve the pristine nature of celestial bodies until they can be studied in detail.”

There are two types of interplanetary contamination. Forward contamination is the transfer of viable organisms from Earth to another celestial body. Back contamination is the transfer of extraterrestrial organisms, if such exist, back to the Earth's biosphere.

Mousehunt is a Facebook application where you sound the hunters horn in 15 minute intervals, and rid Gnawnia of the mouse plague.

Seemingly ridiculous task that eats up a lot of time without much benefit.
