DRUDGE - Big NASA Announcement Set For Today...

[Vintage1]

// NASA is planning to make a huge announcement today, about possible life in our own solar system. Exact details of what we can expect to hear have not been released. We do know that evidence has been found that could point to life relatively close to the earth.... No other information at this time

[Starter]

"We're spending all this money, millions of dollars, to blow up the moon, when there are so many things here on Earth to blow up ... Mount Everest, the North Pole, et cetera. We're earthlings, let's blow up Earth things!"

[Constitution Day]

you rock!

Why thanks! I do try. :^)

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Yeah, I think they're going to announce that they've detected water somewhere. Which I don't find very surprising, nor earth shattering.

[Tulsa Ramjet]

"I hope that I am wrong"

Hey, I don't have a problem spending some money going to a moon, but lets go to a moon where the action is. Unless we can station a laser near Tranquility to zap Kim while he is hair-spraying his 'do.

prion-like life forms


Great they can bring that back and instead of CWD affecting the deer(cause by prion) we can have a prion that turns us into the Zombies from the Night of the Living Dead.
By the way that movie scared the living daylights out of me at the tender age of 10 LOL.

Nope. I'm looking for other images I've seen as well.

• Circular "cookies" with five fold symmetric features. If found on earth, one would have no question that they were sand dollars.

• Bilaterally symmetric ovoids with a center lobe and two flanking lobes. Remarkably similar to the trilobite fossil I have on my desk. Some are flattened out like the cast off shells of terrestrial trilobites, some are curled up like the fossils of terrestrial trilobites that died 'in the shell'.

• Bifurcated 'Blueberries' not all that dissimilar to terrestrial clams or stone plants.

• Spiral features that look suspiciously like snail shells.

Hard to confirm from just pictures. We're genetically programed to see patterns even when they aren't really there! [There are no faces in clouds]...

The good news: we have ironclad photographic evidence.

The bad news:

[Muleteam1]

George Romero scared me with that old movie as well. I must be about 10 years older than you because it was The Blob with Steve McQueen that scared the socks off me. I saw it in at a drive-in theater sitting in an old convertible. When we finally decided the Blob could probably penetrate canvas that was it for us. Now if NASA announces they have found a single-cell organism the size of a Texas county headed for Earth, I outta' here!

"Trilobite"

[RightWhale]

Is this about the water on Enceladus?

They probably used the other quote because it doesn't have the profanities that would have to be bleeped out on the TV show.

"Sea shell":

Words fail me...

[Lunatic Fringe]

You don't think that finding life elsewhere is important?

If it is actual living life (not fossilized evidence), yes. It will be amusing to watch the extreme religious right falling all over themselves to explain it.

It will be amusing to watch the extreme religious right falling all over themselves to explain it.

Why? The evidence is right there in Genesis.

See Chapter 6...

Funny....My Seti@home went offline a few days ago. My comp was not able to download anymore jobs. Wonder if something is up?
