Tomorrow, the 2nd of December 2010, NASA will hold a press conference that might just have something do with little green men.


NASA will hold a news conference at 2 p.m. EST on Thursday, Dec. 2, to discuss an astrobiology finding that will impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life. Astrobiology is the study of the origin, evolution, distribution and future of life in the universe.

Do you think it's bullshit like me?

Thanks, Tom (http://www.tomsguide.com/us/NASA-Astrobiology-Press-Conference-Space-Aliens,news-9125.html).

Oooooooooh, maybe they've found bugs on Mars?

Oooooooooh, maybe they've found bugs on Mars?

Or something to do with that moon of Saturn's that has an "atmosphere".

[pwnophobia]

Maybe it's something (http://www.aolnews.com/weird-news/article/will-proof-of-extraterrestrial-life-be-revealed-at-a-michigan-ramada-inn/19735919?test=latestnews).

Or nothing (http://twitter.com/alexismadrigal/status/9614997667717120#) at all.

With the help of Gnusounduave, we (he) scoured the internet and found (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1334628/Astrobiology-findings-Alien-bacteria-lives-arsenic-Californian-lake-opens-search-life-planets.html):

Nasa scientists are set to announce that bacteria have been discovered that can survive in arsenic, an element previously thought too toxic to support life, it can be revealed.

In a press conference scheduled for tomorrow evening, researchers will unveil the discovery of the incredible microbe - which substitutes arsenic for phosphorus to sustain its growth - in a lake in California.


Edit: look like it was broke in 2008 by Discovery (http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2008/08/14/arsenic-bacteria-lake.html).

Your guess is as good as mine.

We have a new photobomber...we need a fucking showdown. Also I call bullshit on anything NASA related.

[Anenome]

It'll either be a black hole, or the discovery of an exoplanet with water on it, meh.

Speculation is it's this:

Scientists Find 200 Sextillion More Stars in the Sky (http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/12/01/scientists-sextillion-stars/)

Btw, I found this the other day, blew my mind. It's called the "Scale of the Universe". If you've ever seen the "Powers of Ten" video, it's very similar, but this one includes post-modern interactivity:

That was awesome... thank you...

@Brandon: I love the very right slider in that site, where it says "earth probably not the center of the universe" :P Wouldn't that just be so incredibly ironic if God put the earth at the center of the universe :P Stupendously ironic. Like, teeronic.

wow so space is infinite...AND NOTHING OF VALUE WAS GAINED>
No, space is not infinite. Any astronomer would tell you so. It literally cannot be. This was disproven when Einstein was still alive. He was a bit disappointed, 'cause he wanted to believe in a static, eternal universe. But, the expanding universe proved there had to be a beginning.

Gizmodo let the cat out (http://gizmodo.com/5704158/)of the bag and it deals with the Arsenic lake.

But if Discovery broke the same story in 2008...how is this news?

NASA wants the attention.

Cold water currently being poured:

It's not an arsenic-based life form (http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2010/12/its_not_an_arsenic-based_life.php)

Then the stories calmed down, and instead it was that they had discovered an earthly life form that used a radically different chemistry. I was dubious, even at that. And then I finally got the paper from Science, and I'm sorry to let you all down, but it's none of the above. It's an extremophile bacterium that can be coaxed into substituting arsenic for phosphorus in some of its basic biochemistry. It's perfectly reasonable and interesting work in its own right, but it's not radical, it's not particularly surprising, and it's especially not extraterrestrial. It's the kind of thing that will get a sentence or three in biochemistry textbooks in the future....

Hard, and with thick rubber bands over her pinchers so she couldn't fight back, mmmm.

[Agnostic Pope]

She has no butthole how will you fuck it? :P

[Sion]

With a ratchet mouth gag.

At the same time, I would whip her a my wet fisherman's net to punish her for not having a butthole.
