Life on Pluto?
EccentricAnomaly writes "The BBC is reporting that new models of icy moons in the outer solar system predict that oceans (as in liquid water oceans) may be much more common than previously thought. Even Pluto and Neptune's moon Triton now appear to be good candidates for a liquid ocean under their ice. This is exciting because life has been found on Earth in environments similar to these icy oceans at Antarctica's Lake Vostok."
those fuzzy green mars people can't hide forever!
sorry... had to post it!

imagine a beowol.... ahhhhh no no must not type it. what have you done to me ahhhhhhh DAM YOU /.
Of course, don't forget to read Jin Wicked's emails ! Here you will discover how truly difficult it is to decide what to do on the weekends... have a pizza party? A fash party? Go to the mall with all of your friends? Have a sleepover and call boys on the phone?
In short, if you haven't checked out Jin Wicked's site , you don't know what you're missing!
Remember, no matter where you go, there you are.
Cthulhu is over-rated. He's never had to face US lawyers yet.
Thanks for reminding me! I almost forgot to fuck my daughters before selling them into slavery. That would have been embarresing!
pardon me for pointing this out, but your scripture is often at odds with itself.
example #1: 'love thy neighbor', etc as opposed to smiting the enemy by the thousands using weapons of mass distruction [the arc of the covenant]
BTW, does it concern you that your scripture tells you that we are all the product of incest? Think about it - Adam, Eve, Cain & Abel. Now supposedly Cain killed Abel [or visavera - I don't really care...] and was expelled from Eden to live with the other tribes of man. Now where did all thes other people come from if not via sexual liason between Eve, her husband, and her two sons? Oh, perhaps God (tm) just creatd them out of thin air when he got the that page...
you are confusing him with his master, goofy
stop it. He just wants Iraq.
For crying out loud, grow up and stop "just pointing out" every single fucking thing in people's sentences. You're a god damn moron. Oh wait, I said "god damn moron." You should now ask me if I can back up the fact that god exists.
agreed - this is more flamebait than insightful...just because it's flaming people that don't have a large representation on /. doesn't mean it's not flamebait.
Was religion mentioned somewhere in the article? Seems to me that this is fairly off-topic, too.
Planet 10!
When are we going?
Real soon!
Laugh while you can, monkey boy...
Yeah, just wait until we wake up one of the Elder Gods imprisoned in a block of ice on Pluto.
Get your Mythos references straight! Yuggoth is HPL's name for Pluto, which is home of the primary colony of the Mi-go (the Fungi from Yuggoth) in our solar system. They also have mining colonies on Earth. While they are worshippers of the Elder Gods, there is no indication that an Elder God is actually present on their world. I believe their strongest associations are with Shub-Niggurath and Nyarlathotep, both of which are pretty active and have been called to Earth before anyway.
Read "The Whisper in the Darkness" to see the origins of the Mi-go, one of the few technologically advanced races to appear in Lovecraft's stories. As for Cthulhu -- he lies dead but still dreaming somewhere under the seas of Earth, and it was the Old Ones from "At the Mountains of Madness" that were found encased in ice.
