New Clue for Life on Mars?
thhamm writes "Recent analyses of ESA's Mars Express data reveal that concentrations of water vapour and methane in the atmosphere of Mars significantly overlap. This result, from data obtained by the Planetary Fourier Spectrometer (PFS), gives a boost to understanding of geological and atmospheric processes on Mars, and provides important new hints to evaluate the hypothesis of present life on the Red Planet."
all but the 5th planet are yours, oh, you might want to avoid that nasty 4th planet, too..

Where the hell do the Martians come from?
Stop drinking it and I'll tell you in a week.
Vampires don't breathe, and they're teeming beneath the dried-blood surface of Mars. Those telltale methane/water signals must be more residue from the victims from which the iron-rich surface powder was derived, shielding the biters from the rays of the Sun.

Would it be so difficult to say 20-50 (or whatever the measurements are) which would give a much more accurate picture?
Yup. Yup.
The martians have your rover in a containment unit that makes you humans think that you're exploring their world!
the Wong's have all those herds. Of course they have methane and ammonia. Duh.

Found on Uranus. Especially after drinking a few too many Beers and eating some mexican food.
Because the creature would scratch itself to death because it can not stand the ache caused by skin dehydration.
If you mod this up, your slashdot background will turn into a beautiful sunset!

We should capture them as use them as fuel
Noted scientist Marvin, native to Mars, had disclosed his observations concerning the 3rd planet from the Sun. From his latest discourse "... ohhh, you are making me very angry.." Critics agree, he is green with envy and possibly has access to a BFG. One warns "... be on the lookout for a 'flying saucer' type craft in the Earth's moon's orbit..." and suggests getting some local wildlife, perhaps a rabbit, to meet the threat. Stay tuned for details.
If NASA were to say collect some of the water vapor, bottle it, and get it back here, then they would have no need for goverment funding...

water vapour and methane in the atmosphere
Nah, that's just residue from the Uranium PU-36 Explosive Space Modulator....

Since when does pure conjecture require calculations?
Someone forgot to send me the memo.
the Horseshoe Crab, which isn't actually a crab, but a 350 million year old ancestor of spiders. It's blood is actually based on copper

The most logical of all crabs...

Oooh... that must mean that ./ editors are politically motivated, and not that your article is old news, is being reported everywhere else, and that Slashdot is primarily a news site for science and technology news.
