Alien Life On Mars?

[tickledkitty]

See? She doesn't want you to look there. No doubt she and her ilk are hiding something.

Frankly, the fact that she has an ilk scares me all by itself.

 

[MarshAlien]

Is that the only smiley you ilk have on your computers?

You are ilk. So there.

How does one go about feeling ilky?

 

[DesertPirate]

All of this because Marsh mooned someone?

Methane is the simplest organic compound known: one carbon atom surrounded by 4 Hydrogens:

It has been found floating all over the place in free space (like in the ice in comets) and is ubiquitous in the galaxy. It can be generated by any number of ways besides through the decomposition of organic life forms. Whenever you heat carbon in a reducing (oxygen-poor) atmosphere you produce tons of methane.

This is a false alarm.

I'll bet the mars landers brought at least one or two bacteria.

As VM pointed out, it's unlikely that Earth bacteria could survive the Martian conditions. Also, the amount of methane in in the tons. If it's Earth vacteris, they not only survived, but multiplied at an amazing rate. If they multiplied, what did they eat?

 

[tickledkitty]

If they multiplied, what did they eat?

Aliens.

(They're delicious.)

 

[Safe_Bet]

Aliens.

(They're delicious.)

So are you saying that you swallow or that you bite?

 

[tickledkitty]

So are you saying that you swallow or that you bite?

Both, of course.

 

[MarshAlien]

Both, of course.

This is why the Earth is such a popular tourist destination.

Is that what you are, a tourist? If so, you've been here an awful long time.

It has been long but it hasn't been that awful. Once you get used to the smell, it's actually not that bad.

 

[SweetWitch]

Funny. I thought the stench was coming from Aliens. Present company excepted, of course.

You're so well-bred.

 

[SweetWitch]

You're so well-bred.

And you're so well-... uh... Nice martini.

 

[MarshAlien]

And you're so well-... uh... Nice martini.

And you say I'm the one who picks fights.

Oh, wait a minute. That's the other thread, isn't it?

 

[SweetWitch]

And you say I'm the one who picks fights.

Oh, wait a minute. That's the other thread, isn't it?

Who's picking a fight? I was trying to find something nice to say. You think that's easy?

 

[MarshAlien]

Who's picking a fight? I was trying to find something nice to say. You think that's easy?

For a writer of your obvious skill and talent? Yeah, I do.

 

[SweetWitch]

For a writer of your obvious skill and talent? Yeah, I do.

Don't try to butter me up now.

 

[DesertPirate]

Don't try to butter me up now.

Exactly

 

[voluptuary_manque]

Or, at least there was until the bacteria ate them all.

 

[Weird Harold]

No there was indiginous life on MArs until the alien bacteria from Earth ate them.

Going to Mars to hunt for alien life is like complaining about all of the Furriners in Paris who cain't speak english.
