could someone please make a graph about the posibble excitingness of this so i can better understand the news?

 

omg LOL

this is also old news

i eat, sleep, shit, and ejaculate arsenic daily

I don't see how this is new information

I watched the BBC short series Wonders of the Solar System and they cover slimes that live in acid, bacteria that live in ice and we know theres life in hot sulfer springs 1000s of miles deep where no sun light reaches

it wasn't about where they live, but what they're made of. we thought we had the building blocks of life figured out but this just threw a new wrench in.

Evidence of alien life on meteorite

that looks more compromising

fuck aliens man. fuck them.

i agree, so sexy
