Apperently somebody found some bacteria made that's arsenic based.  Wowzers

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. It is the first discovered life form to not require phosphorous. Phosphorous happens to be a part of our DNA, RNA, and ATP. Those are pretty important things. I think the point is that some of the most fundamental parts of a cell do not require what is traditional thought to be needed to sustain life on Earth.

Not being sarcastic at all, this is fascinating stuff.  Hopefully now scientists won't dismiss moons that don't have your typical earth-like environments as having no possible chance for life.

Yeah, I'm going to assert that stuxnet was us. 

Or, was it you, Hek?

As it's now tied into assassinations of key related assets, ie Iranian engineers from the last target and one of their EW specialists (choreographed in-transit bike-to-car assault I am told), I am going to guess on Mossad.

[/quote]Two EW specialists were attacked in a coordinated assault, only one died though. But yeah, completely fucked, it's gotta be Mossad.

Sure, its an expensive case, but I wonder how much $$$ it would take to make another.

Sending people to live on Mars...You know, I've played enough Doom to realize that is a terrible mistake. A terrible, shambling zombie filled mistake.
