Oceans Potentially More Common In Solar System

Posted by Hemos on from the life-in-all-forms dept.

nairolF writes "The AIP Physics News Update has a brief note on how water oceans might be more common in the solar system than previously thought, rendering useless the old notion of a narrow "habitable zone" in solar systems, outside of which life cannot exist."

    Blah. Oceans in the universe besides here? Whodathunkit?

  3. Of course! I am aware of at least eleven. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Sorry, I'm in a rush so I don't have time to read the article, but the recent movie (which I also didn't have time to see) "Oceans 11" seems to confirm the fact that there are at least eleven oceans in the solar system. I think that doctor from the TV show, ER is in it and he's robbing casinos to help out the emergency room or something like that but now it seems that it has something to do with Astronomy or Astrology or whatever. Anyway, I have to go now... bye.

    Hey, I'd like to read more about about your encounter with the PENGUIN PHALLUS.

    In as much detail as you can provide.

    Thanks in advance.

  6. Venus has an ocean by teledyne · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Haven't you ever seen that picture of that naked chick in a clam? She was from Venus! I say we ship all of the old men to Venus so they can sun-bathe nude there! I know we'll be sacrificing that hot woman in a clam but at least we'd have the security of knowing that us geeks can once again roam the nude beaches! (with our 500x optical zoom camcorders, of course)

    How in the hell is telling what I think (with an explanation that it is just humor INCLUDED in the post) a troll? I used to think that the moderators smoked crack, but I now think it is beyond that. I think they are smoking really cheap crack, and doing other things as well like huffing gasoline or starting on psychodelics. I honestly could understand if I was modded as offtopic, but troll?

    POSITIONS WANTED: DO YOU SMOKE CRACK DAILY? DO YOU MAKE BIASED, UNEDUCATED CHOICES? IF SO, WE WANT YOU TO MODERATE FOR US! JUST CONTACT SLASHDOT.ORG.
