The Perfect Valentine's Day Gift

New discovery!!  I don't know how I've lived my whole life without ever hearing about the majestic Tardigrade aka the Water bear.
Here are some facts that I stole from wikipedia about this critter.

-Water bears can survive temperatures close to absolute zero and up to 304F.
-They can survive the vacuum of outer space for at least 10 days.
-Live 10+ years without water.
-Can survive 5000GY of gamma rays (5-10 would be fatal to a human)

Yep.  Water bears in Space (sounds like a band name).  Basically the most hard core organism ever.  I've decided that since guys like to give girls cheesy gifts, such as those stuffed bears


 that its totally alright for me to want one of these from my future Valentine.


Because love like polar bear or a grizzly bear can be killed with a rifle but love like a water bear will never die.
