Life Confirmed At Extreme Depths
SEWilco writes "A few years ago the life forms around deep-ocean thermal vents were a surprise. Now ancient bacteria alive in rock 2 miles down have been found. The story is in the San Francisco Chronicle. It is also at Nature.Com, but that server is already rejecting connects. Other bacteria survived frozen in the pressures of an ocean 100 miles deep. This increases the known limits of where life can exist on any planet. Thomas Gold undoubtedly is not surprised at hot, deep bacteria living on hydrogen."
No, no, no. That would be life in the dark. (Like more readers are)

That's wonderful if you're military, but how about everybody else? Remember, money doesn't come out of thin air. If Bush gives you money that means that less is available for somebody else.
IMHO it'd be much better if Bush stopped wasting so much money on war and gave all that to education. It seems America seriously lacks people who can see farther than their nose.
Bush just gave Military another pay raise. The man putting more money in my pocket certainly doesn't constitute an "evil fuck".
I'm sure hitler gave the military lots of pay rases. But he was still an evil fuck.
