Mars Rock Supports Cross-Seeding Theory
914 writes "Mars rover Opportunity has found a rock (nicknamed 'Bounce') that "provides conclusive evidence not only of Martian meteorites on Earth, but also of the possibility of cross-seeding." Not only that, but according to the UPI article: 'The discovery of Bounce raises the distinct possibility that life arising from a common source could have existed for a time on both worlds.'"

It doesn't matter, because they're gone and we're still here. We Won!
nyaaah nyaah dumb Martians picked the wrong planet.
or maybe an errant superball from Earth that got bounced just a little too high?
do not taunt Happy Fun Ball!
I don't know, but I think I saw a meteorite that was ejected from Uranus.
ba-dum-dum!
Thanks folks, I'll be here all week. Try the veal..I hear it's delicious.
Nobody tell the KKK or they'll start showing up at NASA press conferences to protest. Those guys have way too much time on their hands.
Even those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable economic stress at this period in history.
... Martians in science fiction are so darned humanoid.
I've found that my posts don't format quite right w/o a sig.
... the rover experiments were indeed faked on earth. What more evidence do you want? ;)
Bush will probably *cough* promise *cough* that in a month.
Hell, those WMD gotta be somewhere ?!
>"Does conclusive evidence [...] make it true?
It's fun to take words out of sentences to completely change the sentences originally meaning isn't it?
God had a relationship with Mars -WHILE- dating Mother Earth? BLASPHEMY!

What's going on... tracking station 43 Canberra, come in Canberra!... tracking station 63, can you hear me Madrid... can anybody hear me? Come in...! Come in...........!
Scientists announced recently that the rock found on Mars, nicknamed "Bounce," was of a breed of rock similar to the pet rocks popular in the sixties.
Pet rocks are the primitive ancestors of modern pseudo-pets such as tamagotchi and Aibo.
This has led some scientists to suggest that the curious human habit of creating emotional attachments to purposeless inanimate objects may actually be extraterrestrial in origin.

It's the end of my comment as I know it and I feel fine.
Richard C. Hoagland has been saying this for years, and to think I didn't pay attention just because he's a conspiracy theorist. He's been pounding on and on about how life here came from Mars. And now real evidence emerges that says that might actually be true -- it's living science fiction. See Hoagland's stuff at Enterprise Mission.
Holy sh#&!!
I, for one, welcome our new Antichrist overlord.
I think it's amazing. I guess now when I make a joke about Micheal Jackson being from Mars I might actually be sort of right.
Certainly makes me think. Somewhere, Darwin is laughing...
Yes. You are absolutely correct. That place was Babylon 5.

So I take it you're the agnostic and dyslexic insomniac I've been hearing about lately....
Geek used to be a four letter word. Now it's a six-figure one.
So men ARE from mars! In that case, lets send a probe over to Venus.
Wow. I'm so overpowered by your eloquence that I can't help but be convinced.
