(I have a bad habit of responding to old articles. But sometimes the compulsion overtakes you.)

That's all interesting (genuinely! ha, that sounds like a blow-off; it's not)... but aren't you suggesting then that life originated off Earth and originally found its way here on an early asteroid? Since Earth doesn't send a lot of ejecta up into space, does it? Not on the regular enough, if at all?

Are you ever worried we may face a Biebonic Plague?

Of course, so saying — I'm all the more optimistic despite myself when news like this comes out. Ha. But we can't forget we're ignoring the biggest "if" of the equation when we dare to dream.

I agree those are 2 different things, but before you start accusing him of trolling, you did pop into such an article and leave a comment that said "hi I'm not interested in this."

As much as I'd love to see expeditions to Europa (unmanned or manned) in my lifetime (please, please), the premise of "Life in Lake Vostok therefore life on other worlds" is really aggravatingly bad. I'm not the first to point out on this webpage, but life surviving and evolving in harsh climates like Lake Vostok does…

Indeed, and everything leading up to it, like a little bird's flight (by sea).

Wait, this isn't Robot Jox?

I will never get tired of Don Cheadle as Captain Planet.

I immediately saw this video and thought, "THAT is a useful skill in a survivalist sense. I'm glad I watched this. You never know." I'm not normally the alarmist or survivalist-type, but, you never know. Having food but having no way in. That would suck.

I don't love either (I controversially "sorta like parts of" both), but I like David Cross a lot and I like Robert Picardo a lot, and — damned it I didn't swear that was David Cross until I read the "caption."

Shitty people do shitty stuff. Agreed. And I'm more or less against all the things you named. I'm sorry to be a tenacious bastard about this, but the point I was sticking to here is that you began this by pointedly bringing the man's race into it, which directly implies that his race is the cause of the ways in which…

Yeah, I'm almost exactly where you are bookwise, but I'm with Charlie Jane and the experts. Joffrey's wedding needs to be much earlier because the big conflicts and climaxes all follow in its aftermath: Tyrion, the trial, Oberyn the Red Viper vs the Mountain, the Black Cells, the tunnels inside the Red Keep, a certain…

Conveniently latches onto a detail that might seem relevant until scrutinized and definitely does not change the crux of the argument that you are being pretty consistent about holding the skin-color and ethnicity of the people you choose to hate on against them and tacitly denying that it is racist to do so.

Yeah, I can't remember and I could totally look that up on this interconnected system of computers we have called the "internet" but I'm too lazy (I'd much rather type windbaggy snark about myself than research facts that may passively one day come to me, clearly) — but I feel like this might not be the guys who made…

"Japanese fishermen are the worst"

Considering the idiocy of this statement, ...I guess we know how you would deal with you ever you ever met yourself.

Yeah, this is it right here. Nothing was scarier (in any movie that I would still willingly watch)—! This scene in Superman III was even more difficult for me to watch than the face-melting from Raiders.

Yeah. I have no feelings one way or the other about the royal family, but this was adorable.
