Post by: LWACE on January 23, 2004, 12:35:24 PM: My guess is with Earth already getting over populated, not near fully but getting, in the next 5-600 years when were all gone and done etc, they will figure out someway to revive mars or
something and make it so people can live on it.

Then we'll have all the same watermelon on there we got here, we'll see a mcdonalds with a sign out front, "First Mcdonalds On Mars!" and lil Ronald will be out there shaking lil Green mens hands good stuff.

Post by: Chairboy on January 23, 2004, 07:30:53 PM: Sorry Midnight target, but this is definately news. We may have photographed that land and those valleys with the Viking orbiters, but the high resolution spectrometer on the european craft has apprarently picked up water traces, and we definately did NOT know about that.

Cool stuff.

Post by: midnight Target on January 23, 2004, 07:38:09 PM: I'm sorry Chair, but I discussed this with my Yogi, Bahgram Shaggyum, and he is convinced that we knew about the water deal. In fact he is so sure there is life on Mars, that he has made the following predictions:

1. When we find it it will flourish in Florida and infect the population. Many will lack the strength to even poke chads.

2. The Martians will establish that Darwin was wrong. Earth is just a place to dump excess biotech experiments from the rest of the Universe... they're sorry too.

3. Storch is actually Hortlund hiding from those meanies at WWIIOL.
