Exclamation Life Found On Mars !!!

NASA has just released news and images
that they have finally found life on
Mars!


This life-form akin to bacteria was found using the lens of the Spirit rover.
One of the images is at the official NASA Site.

A close up of the little creepy-crawlers is also given below.

No doubt we will be hearing all about it sometime today.

THIS WILL GET ALL THOSE THE DOUBTERS GOING !!

TODAY IS GOING TO BE A DAY TO REMEMBER !!



They describe;
"The image shows extremely tiny tubular structures that are possible microscopic bacteria-like organisms that have probably lived on Mars for more than 3.6 billion years. A NASA research team found organic features characteristic of biological activity inside of an ancient Martian rock. The largest possible bacteria are less than 1/100th the diameter of a human hair."

Always a problem when strange things do really occur on 1st April:-

".....Another Google-related event that turned out not to be a hoax occurred on April 1, 2007, when employees at Google's New York City office were alerted that a ball python kept in an engineer's cubicle had escaped and was on the loose. An internal e-mail acknowledged that "the timing…could not be more awkward" but that the snake's escape was in fact an actual occurrence and not a prank."

There is another forum (of which I am not a member) are running a thread about a SETI signal.

It was forwarded just before midnight last night... but after DST . I just noted that the date and time at the bottom of the forward quotes the time anf date 6:45 April 1st UT. Check my maths, but won't that time occur in over 5 hours

Good on ya' Enchilada. I like the cleverness of an April fool gag where ya' lead the victims to think that it is a joke. BUT it ain't. I was aware of the info from the mid 90's but I thought maybe there was some new stuff.. Good entertaining stuff.

Cheers Marty
