Ice Detected Underneath Mars' North Pole
TheSync writes "A Reuters/Yahoo story says University of Arizona and Russian scientists have detected water ice uniformly distributed in the soil of Mars' north polar regions. The amount of hydrogen detected indicates ice of 80% to 90% of soil volume. Data was used from the Mars Global Surveyor and Mars Odyssey." It's worth noting that their study only detected large amounts of hydrogen; so much hydrogen that ice is figured to be the only form it could be in, although I kind of like the idea of Mars' pole covering a huge pocket of hydrogen gas.
This is very harshely worded, however every bit of it is absolute fact. Unlike all those 'higher learning' things things that we've all ended up reading. undisputable truth
Who is this that even the wind and the waves obey Him? Surely this computer must submit also!
Not really... all it constitutes is that there is hydrogen around Mars. Scientist waste millions of dollars trying to prove their religion, all the while millions of people here on Earth starve. We wonder about amoeba's on Mars while our own civilisation is on the brink of destruction. The world political system is colapsing, governments are lying to carry out their own secret agendas, small unstable countries are building bombs that can distroy whole other nations. Come on people, get a clue.

No, no, that would be tight, yo. You just have to be all enlightened and shit. Then you reincarnate your way up to the bacteria that gets blasted into space by a meteorite, then you get sucked into the black hole, and then you can worry about worm-holing your way into the universe of perpetual friday afternoon on Mediteranean nude beaches. What's earth got? Nirvana? I'll take the hot chicks with the Latin word order and no tan lines over the unintelligible manic-depressive getting chased around by confused Persian guys with rocket lanchers.
