Pieces of Ancient Earth May Be Hidden On the Moon

swestcott brings us a story from Space.com about the possibility of finding evidence for ancient Earth life on the moon. A team of scientists has published work confirming that meteorites originating from Earth could have remained sufficiently intact while colliding with the moon to allow the survival of biological evidence for life. Quoting: "Crawford and Baldwin's group simulated their meteors as cubes, and calculated pressures at 500 points on the surface of the cube as it impacted the lunar surface at a wide range of impact angles and velocities. In the most extreme case they tested (vertical impact at a speed of some 11,180 mph, or 5 kilometers per second), Crawford reports that 'some portions' of the simulated meteorite would have melted, but 'the bulk of the projectile, and especially the trailing half, was subjected to much lower pressures.'"

Hidden on the "moon"

Pieces of carrots, bananas, summer sausages and yes even dildos may be hidden up your ASS.

Which reminds me of the Apple fanboy who went to the proctologist complaining of a pain in the ass. The doctor dilated the AMD fanboy's anus and extracted from there a carrot, a banana, a summer sausage, and a dildo. Finally, he plunged his whole arm inside and pulled a bunch of roses.

-"Hey, what's this?", he asked.

-"Ohh, that's for *you*, honey!"

Is there oil on the Moon?

Why don't these scientists do something useful for a change and tell us where to drill! I just bought my Hummer and now I can't afford the gas.

FSM may have hidden them there to test our faith.
