In this politically correct day, it is considered racist to speak ill of scientists but I feel I must risk being labeled thus so that the truth will out. To be frank, scientists are running out of names for things. If the Mark Knopflerosaurus weren't proof enough, behold the Cafeteria roenbergensis. Now this hungry little fellow is an industrious little bacteria eater and goes about its singular task with aplomb. It flagellates around in the oceans, doing its duty to the supposed "ecosystem." Lazy scientists, however, when taxed with taxonomy decided to name this creature after the first thing they saw, namely a hostel in Denmark. This would be like me eating a hamburger, spotting some new strain of lemur and deciding that Hamburger Mcdonaldensis is a deucedly fine name for this arboreal creature. Lazy and lame.
I Judge them: Worthy of Extinction (To teach scientists a lesson and to encourage creativity amongst their ranks. Perhaps they should consider hiring more theatre majors, hint hint.)

Shameless self-promotion. Nice touch.
all of my promotion comes with great swatches of shame.
