Ha. Yeh I suppose. The PI was a world famous genius but he was a bit of a perve too

I worked in a research lab in the 1980s and in the office they had stacks of Penthouses. Every time you looked at one you had to put $0.25 in a coffee can. When they had enough for a new mag someone would go out and buy one. Times certainly have changed

Wow. Such a dick move. How about this instead? One night a year act like a normal human and give out candy to a bunch of kids dressed up in costumes?

I like it to see what my friends and family are reading. But what’s wrong with tracking how many books you read. Reading adds knowledge and experiences you can see that as being an achievement without it being a negative

If you ask the average CNN viewer if we’ve discovered any evidence of microbial life on Mars either currently alive or ancient I’m guessing the percent answering “yes” would be significantly different from zero.

This was in CNN jerkoff. It’s a general audience and, at best, it was an oversight. At worst it was deliberately misleading

Ok so 3rd grade English review, “Ancient microbes” in the title without any qualifiers explicitly states there were ancient microbes.

Hope this helps with your reading comprehension

Title and first line are misleading

“Ancient bacteria might be sleeping beneath the surface of Mars, where it has been shielded from the harsh radiation of space for millions of years, according to new research.”

Should read: “Ancient bacteria (if it ever existed there) might be sleeping beneath the surface of Mars, where it has been shielded from the harsh radiation of space for millions of years, according to new research.”

There are a lot of space scale modelers who’d be interested.
