Science is Drokking Fantastic Because...

Sorry I can't make that 4 o'clock appointment. I'm scheduled to die at 3.25.

Chilling.

oh FFS don't take your scientific news offa the Huffington Post. Do you realise that one of those links goes to the Daily Mail website? I think this falls into the "hyperbolic extrapolation" theory of science journalism, in which case it's 90% likely to be partly or wholly bollocks.

Has Curiosity Made an 'Earth-Shaking' Discovery?

Has Curiosity Made an 'Earth-Shaking' Discovery?

[vzzbux]

It has probably found traces of Hitler on Mars.

Double post but I think we may be talking fossils.

I hope so but it may just be chemical/physical signatures in the rocks that something,(probably microbial) was there anyway it will be a historic find if it can be confirmed.

I think we may be talking fossils.

If this were to be the case, I really don't think I could cope with the wave of happiness that would wash over me. And I may have to take the morning off work.

Owt to back that up, vzzbux or just a feeling?

Be nice if summat akin to that, was in fact the 'Earth shaking' discovery, but i suspect itll be this

chemical/physical signatures in the rocks

Not that that wouldnt be any less impressive, in the long run.

At this point I would conjecture that they've found an interesting rock formation, and they want to make sure it's really some kind of microbial fossil and not just an imprint from some inert crystally thingymawhatsits

Maybe Gilbert Levin was right?

I looked out this morning and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes and I slipped away

It's more than a feeling
(More than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play
(More than a feeling)
I begin dreaming
(More than a feeling)
'Til I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away

So many people have come and gone
Their faces fade as the years go by
Yet I still recall as I wander on
As clear as the sun in the summer sky

It's more than a feeling
(More than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play
(More than a feeling)
I begin dreaming
(More than a feeling)
'Til I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away

When I'm tired and thinking cold
I hide in my music, forget the day
And dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slipped away
She slipped away

It's more than a feeling
(More than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play
(More than a feeling)
I begin dreaming
(More than a feeling)
'Til I see Marianne walk away

Maybe it's this...

That picture raises several philosophical questions. Chief among which is; WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FREE SPACE SPINNER?????
