Complex Life Found Under 600 Feet of Antarctic Ice
Chroniton writes "NASA ice scientists have found a shrimp-like creature and a possible jellyfish 'frolicking' beneath 600 feet of solid Antarctic ice, where only microbes were expected to live. The odds of finding two complex lifeforms after drilling only an 8-inch-wide hole suggests there may be much more. And if such life is possible beneath Earth's oceans, why not elsewhere, like Europa?"
A more likely explanation is that the samples were contaminated by the instruments. If we look in the Bible there is no mention that God made this lifeform, therefore the most logical explanation is contamination.
Sorry to burst your bubble.
I thought we were not allowed to explore Europa?
Ice scientists? Wow! I thought the only one was Jan of the Wonder Twins. ("Form of, an Ice Scientist!")
How does it taste?
Get out your torches, and somebody call Kurt Russell, quick!
Then hold the world ransom for ONE... MILLION... DOLLARS!!!!!
The world's burning. Moped Jesus spotted on I50. Details at 11.
Do the fish look like aliens, or do aliens look like fish?
Yeah, we Europeans are living elsewhere but Earth. We feel more attached to our universe like that...
--- I am known for the ones who want to find me on the net. Is that a privacy risk or a privilege? One might wonder..
In some parts they go down as much as Mount Everest goes up.
yeah, like your girlfriend!
An eight inch hole?
If we fly to other planets, our probes may need to be able to accommodate any size orifice.
If I have been able to see further than others, it is because I bought a pair of binoculars.
Life can live in ice-covered oceans and it can even be complex. This is all idle speculation until someone actually probes Europa to see what's under there.
I just had this image in my head of humans building a colony on Mars, then ET's come by and say "Whoah! This means sentient life could have evolved on barren worlds like Mars!"

I've looked - yes it's damn cold, but I didn't find any signs of complex life.
(Ps: You misspelt Europe)
The amphipod is actually a Lysianassid, not a Lyssianasid, if someone tries to google it :)
You know, you'd get a lot more points in Scrabble if you'd just learn to shut your yap!

Jellyfish and shrimp sandwich!
Well, in those days, Mars was just a dreary uninhabitable wasteland. Much like Utah. But unlike Utah, it was eventually made livable.
One. I can verify that he looked like a fish. But he warned me of traps, so I turned back and never saw any ever again.
Everything will be taken away from you.
I'd provide a citation, but my source was taken away in the middle of the night by guys in a black van.
I hate printers.
