Don't know if anyone is following or even know about the latest Mars rover Curiosity. A recent article says it has made a discovery "for the history books".

Maybe it's found organics.

Nothing really exciting or mysterious about it, as I've know about it for years.
Science has discovered the birthplace of my mother-in-law.

Actually the telescope was looking at the back of Larry's head, from the Three Stooges. They thought they found a new rain forest!

Just before Sojourner was launched, a Martian meteorite from Antarctica did have indentations? that could have been from organic matter.

The speculation is organic. We'll just have to wait.

I'm hoping it's my rechargeable mototool that's been missing since Sandy struck.

You know, I was always told that you have to be careful of what you ask for because you just might get it.
They are gonna keep poking around in the universe, and one day they are gonna find whatever it is they're looking for. Unfortunately, they may not like it.

For the sake of the team that discovers them, after!

I for one look forward to whatever their findings once they have completely analyzed all of the data. You know how science is... they will run every test known prior to making an official statement. Below is a leaked shot of their sample.

I heard they found a call centre owned by my bank.

Prometheus?

 

[SUroot]

Think so

 

[zuben el genub]

We found all kinds of missing socks after a good ferret cleanup. He used to climb up the BACK of the bureau and get the Vulcan's socks. He'd snitch 5 or 6 pairs in one play session. Maybe you have a ghost ferret.

NASA discovered that rumors spread fast.
