they don’t get oaid for trivia………..

Some tool commented on news.com about this story and how the fact scientists are excited that methane has been found on Mars shows how weird they are. I commented back thats it better than being excited about some celebrity rubbish. I imagine people who do find it interesting are in the minority

Has to have more tangible relevance than Kim FWARKIN Kardashian!!!!!

Note that the background level is less than one part per BILLION. It doesn’t take much to create a “spike”.

As I said in Chat, it’s another day, another life on Mars beat-up. Which is a shame because these findings should be interesting in their own right.
