Hello faithful readers (you know who you are). Once in a while I feel the need to express myself in a "not funny" kind of way. Here's a bit of research I found fascinating.
In this months issue of New Scientist there is a debate over the red rain that fell over India from July through September of 2001. It appears the red rain was actually some kind of unknown biological material that may have been extra-terrestrial in origin and may or may not have originated from an exploding meteor. Two of the most remarkable things about this "life form" is that it has no DNA structure and thrives and reproduces dramatically at temperatures above 300C. This is a considerably higher temperature than any known terrestrial life form can survive. Check out

Even assuming this material is not extra-terrestrial it still qualifies as a new life form. Why has there been so little press about it? Is the government trying to hide that fact that we are not alone? Why isn't this the news item of the decade??? IS THERE ANY HOPE FOR HUMANITY AT ALL???!!!
Sorry. Got funny there for a moment.

probably same reason they didnt want to tell us til today about the hairy lobster they found last year...or was that the year before.
i smell conspiracy.
Does this have anything to do with Bat boy? Or the woman who gave birth to the sheep? Their hiding it all from us! The bastards!!
Actually, this one is for real! Though I don;t doubt the exapmles you mentioned either Hammy.
The news is owned. We won't ever hear anything thats really vital or important. As a matter of fact (not to get all serious here but..) we've been in space for - what now - thiry years or more? Where's the beef??? We haven't seen one REAL picture of the Moon, Mars or any other planet they have visited, or gotten any information at all. Yet, here we are payin' for it all. Why doesn't anyone ask questions about the data and pictures from space? Like...Where are they???
They are afraid we will find out things we don't want to know Hammy. It'd be "War of the Worlds" if we insignificant humans learned that we are about to be consumed by an alien race. Maybe the government is acting in our best interests - NOT!
He he. Nick, you slay me.
Just kidding. I do consider a story like this important, and I hope we find out all about it before it evolves into an evil entity that supplants us as the dominant life form.
