The Threat From Life on Mars

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the mars-need-women dept.

sweetshot97 writes "According to the UK site, Times Online; future trips to Mars that will have probes return with samples of the martian surface may contain deadly microbes of course, foreign to our world. The threat may be incurable bacterial infections we have no cure for. What's funny is that we may have even infected Mars with our own bacteria when we sent several probes there. "

    In the dictionary, under "redundant" it says "see redundant."

    (this post guaranteed to be modded "redundant")

    Well, this certainly will be a problem! I was hoping it would only be the incurable infections for which we had a cure, but then those would be curable, and not qualify, so I guess I am back to square one. I am trying to end a sentence in a preposition, but I cannot figure out how.

    Incurable means that we have no cure for it, why say it twice?
