| __________________________________________ [Nov 30,2010 8:56am - sixstringcarnage ""] Nice. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 30,2010 9:07am - arilliusbm ""] Old news. |
| ______________________________ [Nov 30,2010 9:07am - ark ""] Psyched. |
| _________________________________ [Nov 30,2010 9:52am - reimroc ""] i really hope this isn't a let down. |
| __________________________________ [Nov 30,2010 10:23am - Doomkid ""] Aril, what news is it specifically if its old news? I'd like to read it. Anyway, it says the journal is also delaying release of details, which is sort of exciting. That makes me think that whatever they're publishing is relatively obscure, to the rest of their field even. I will be watching. |
| _______________________________ [Nov 30,2010 10:30am - Yeti ""] Peter Tagtgren was right all along. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 30,2010 12:01pm - Analnomous ""] It'll probably be the same shit they've been trowing at us. "We found fossilized microbes!" |
| __________________________________ [Nov 30,2010 12:03pm - oscarct ""] I am sure there is something out there, but I doubt this press conference will be anything worh talking about |
| _______________________________ [Nov 30,2010 12:03pm - ark ""] maybe they will have something to support the pan-spermia theory. i hope so, because i love that word. |

| _________________________________ [Nov 30,2010 2:24pm - Doomkid ""] Aril, that's the second time you said this was old news- what the hell discovery is this if you already were aware of it? |
| ___________________________________________ [Nov 30,2010 2:26pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] aril is aware of news before it happens... therefor all news is old news to him. you guys havent figured this out yet? |
| __________________________________________ [Nov 30,2010 5:24pm - largefreakatzero ""] All news are belong to him. |
| ___________________________________________ [Nov 30,2010 5:29pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] I thought all news belonged to Huey Lewis? |

| ____________________________________ [Nov 30,2010 9:38pm - arilliusbm ""] Doomkid said:Aril, that's the second time you said this was old news- what the hell discovery is this if you already were aware of it? Stop trying to poop on the new meme. :bartmoon: No, but really. There's been some discoveries in the past few weeks. I know they've found oxygen on yet another moon. But it could be another planetary find, close to earth. Also, they're looking into massive amounts of xrays/gamma rays coming from our galaxy's core. Who knows, NASA is a smoke show anyway. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 30,2010 10:09pm - the_reverend ""] what about like a week ago when they found 2 25,000 light year globs. |
| _______________________________________ [Dec 1,2010 7:40am - DestroyYouAlot ""] in b4 discovery that aliens use Linux and are therefore immune to Will Smith's Mac virus |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 1,2010 8:48am - the_reverend ""] |
| __________________________________ [Dec 1,2010 11:38pm - dertoxia ""] This could be about finding evidence of life on Titan. If that's true then it's the most important discovery of all of human history. My fear is that this could just be about those scientists who found life at the bottom of some stupid lake that is sulfur based, not carbon based. But that announcement was already made and wouldn't make sense for NASA to hold their own press conference for it. |
| __________________________________________ [Dec 2,2010 8:57am - FuckIsMySignature ""] this is being announced today right? |
| __________________________________ [Dec 2,2010 9:03am - Spaldino ""] FuckIsMySignature said:this is being announced today right? nope... postponed until further notice. BIG BROTHER STRIKES AGAIN. |

| _____________________________________ [Dec 2,2010 2:21pm - SkinSandwich ""] Big deal, microbes can live off of poison. Hitler took poison and he is still alive. This is nothing new. yeah, that cunt on the news conference was a cunty cunt that cunts. |
| ________________________________ [Dec 2,2010 3:03pm - Doomkid ""] Y'all are lame: this is actually pretty damn cool. Not only does this give us the opportunities to expand our rubric in searching for life but we could possibly create bio-energy differently, process heavy metals at contaminated sites. And my favorite: create a TRULY sterile environment! if these bacteria can really subsist only on arsenic then it might be possible to engineer organisms and observe their interactions, evolution, whatever... totally independent of most known life, since it wouldn't be able to survive in that environment. But ya know, still a new discovery. If they still absolutely need some phosphorus then its much less exciting. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 2,2010 3:06pm - arilliusbm ""] NASA is a smoke show; or rather, to rephrase (assuming you're thinking NASA is a hot chick): NASA likes to blow smoke in the air. |
| __________________________________ [Dec 2,2010 3:06pm - arktouros ""] yeah this is one of those discoveries that gets to biology's roots, almost like evolution or DNA. does this bacteria have any fire-shitting relatives? |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 2,2010 3:06pm - the_reverend ""] what strange calories their are in arsenic-phalic bateria. |

| ___________________________________ [Dec 2,2010 4:17pm - Alx_Casket ""] Newer studies are showing that organisms that survive in arsenic lakes are more likely to be homosexual. |
| _______________________________________ [Dec 2,2010 4:30pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] Man, what a letdALL GLORY TO THE HYPNO-ORGANISM |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 2,2010 4:35pm - immortal13 ""] Kadoog-a-go-go said:It is sort of awesome, 'cause it finally proves what we should have assumed in the first place: life on other planets wouldn't need the same shit Earthlings need to survive. Blah. I hate it when people say there can't be any life on another planet because the atmosphere couldn't support life. Yeah, maybe it can't support human life, but how the fuck would they know what extraterrestrials need to survive? |
| __________________________________ [Dec 2,2010 4:52pm - arktouros ""] NASA's geobiologist Pamela Conrad thinks that the discovery is huge and "phenomenal," comparing it to the Star Trek episode in which the Enterprise crew finds Horta, a silicon-based alien life form that can't be detected with tricorders because it wasn't carbon-based. It's like saying that we may be looking for new life in the wrong places with the wrong methods. Indeed, NASA tweeted that this discovery "will change how we search for life elsewhere in the Universe." http://gizmodo.com/5704158/ star trek wins again. |
| __________________________________________ [Dec 2,2010 4:54pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] shhhh dont let wren know. |
| __________________________________________ [Dec 2,2010 4:55pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] this is all just further propoganda to fuel the anti-carbon climate change whore agenda. anything to get their new tax across. |

The end of this press conference was nerdtastic, the lead author actually started talking technically about her experimental methods and then this woman busts out the Star Trek. |
