Mars May Still Be A Living Planet, Methane In Atmosphere Reveals

Posted January 16, 2009 9:06 AM

From ScienceDaily: Latest Science News:

Scientists has achieved the first definitive detection of methane in the atmosphere of Mars. This discovery indicates the planet is either biologically or geologically active. If microscopic Martian life is producing the methane, it likely resides far below the surface where it is warm enough for liquid water to exist.

For your information, we don't call it Mars and only the labor class call it Marz ( something they read on CR4 I think). We call it...well it can't actually be pronounced with such simple vocal chords as those on your home world. And you don't want to know the word we use for your puny little planetiod.THERE, I SAID IT AND I'M GLAD I TELL YOU!

And if you were wondering,yes we did break your silly wind turbine in Britin a few weeks ago.HA!

And in the news today Martian Home Land Security out lawed matches, lighters and piezo electric spark making devices. Harboring of any such device is grounds to be charged as a suicide bomber.

The explosion in the dept of the interior that caused everything to now be exterior has been found to be due to faulty wiring.

In a startling announcement to day Earth has claimed life on Mars due to the large out gassing of BS from the government bureaucracy complex. The minority party has suggested that they just shut up but the speaker has refused to acknowledge them and the filibuster continues. Minority sources are quoted as saying that the status quo party thinks that the increased tourism will turn the flagellating economy around.

I read your profile but it didn't mention anything about your working for the Washington Post.

It is how I justify my colorable Post Doc in the Republic of Washington state.

I don't know how many posts I've doctored in Washington.

I must have 50 Washington Posts in my yard The only difference is mine are colorful not colorable. If they tell you something you might want to pay attention.

Colorful posts, eh? Well, you're just close enough to Vancouver for me to believe these colorful things ...

... are what you have in your yard. Are they?

Trust me, if one of them told me anything I'd not only pay attention, I'd get the hell outta there!

Some are cedar but not that colorful. Look like story Totems some are family Totems, Then again they could be both. Once upon a time I could have told you much about these but alas time does take its tole.

Excellent Raven at the bottom of the closest Totem. Nevermore.

I only have one maybe two mountain ranges between me and them.

They also are a more truthful Post. For a while some were made just for decoration/money thus not actually a Totem.

I have doctored several Washington posts also... normally out in the pasture. That is where I discovered I don't like button flies on my Levis. When ya gotta go... Ya gotta go...
