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."

Sad news CBS documents dead at 2 weeks by CreamOfWheat · 2004-09-20 05:49 · Score: -1, Offtopic

I just heard some sad news on talk radio, it seems that the documents CBS had hoped to destroy the President with were found dead at their Abilene TX home. Even if you are not a big fan of forged documents, there is no denying their role in bringing down Dan Rather and the Kerry campaign. Truly a malicious attemt to screw Bush!
Terrible news! CBS and Kerry going down! by Anonymous Coward · 2004-09-20 05:52 · Score: -1, Offtopic

That slime Kerry and his operatives are so stupid they could not find an old typewriter to forge the CBS documents? They deserve the beating they will get. Is it too late to drop the walking corpse and put Howard Dean on ballot?

Nevermind Mars for a minute. Look at Utah... by davidsyes · 2004-09-20 06:06 · Score: -1, Offtopic

In Yahoo!, there is an article about ancient ruins/homes in Utah before the time of Christ.

""It's like finding a van Gogh in your grandmother's attic," Utah state archaeologist Kevin Jones said.

Earliest traces of Fremont life show up three centuries before the birth of Christ, but they disappeared around A.D. 1250. This unlooted canyon - turned over by a rancher who kept it secret for more than half a century - could have been one of their final strongholds.

Until recently, Range Creek was all but unknown. An expedition from Harvard's Peabody Museum made a stop in 1929, but visited only a few sites. In recent summers, archaeologists and graduate students have quietly conducted a labor-intensive survey - keeping the area's full significance under wraps until news reports surfaced about the land transfer in June."
