   We bastards!

   Given the cold dry conditions of Mars, life could have evolved on Mars with the key internal fluid consisting of a mix of water and hydrogen peroxide, said Schulze-Makuch.

   Dassannacole!

   I knew we should have stuck to abducting and probing the people and mutilating the livestock.

   I found a mosquito in my bathroom, and I killed it.  Got a problem with that?

   Looks like we saved Jack Brennan a lot of work.

   And now, the Earth is forever saved from H.G Welles’ nightmare.

   That was an AP story, Timmy, attributed to an interplanetary probe that spoke on the condition of anonymity.

    How many planets does Bush have to destroy before people* wake up and impeach him for Interplanetary Genocide???

    * by which I mean “sheeple”

    “interplanetary genocide”

    Eat hot plasmatomic death you disgusting alien freaks!

    Yeah, that was good.  And now Halliburton gets the contracts to rebuild the place in Ameica’s image.  Soon that sweet Martian crude will be filling the space tankers and cruising back to earth, allowing us to undercut and beggar the Islamofascists while fueling our death-machines.

    Now that’s some Hegemony.

    This is why we keep shooting down your space probes. You pollute our national parks and kill off the endangered species.

    Call it an abortion, then it will be OK.

    Even Earth has something somewhat related. He points to an Earth bug called the bombardier beetle that produces a boiling-hot spray that is 25 percent hydrogen peroxide as a defense weapon.

    Cool. Calvin was right.

    Schulze-Makuch acknowledges he can’t prove that Martian microbes exist, but given the Martian environment and how evolution works, “it makes sense.”

    Certainly it makes sense.

    “Logical consistency is nice, but it’s not enough anymore,” McKay said.

    Oh. Well that is a bit of a blow.
