isn't this a bit simplistic? I imagine that over the thousands of years, it was used for many purposes, built, rebuilt, rearranged, burned down, fell over, THEN sank into the swamp. wait where was I?
well the only way we'll have survived that long is if we get off this planet, and I'm assuming that if we master the technology to do that, we'll have any of the answers related to that problem.
Ever. not just lately. This is worse than Harlan Ellison; at least he was a talented greedy schmuck. Excuse me if the RICHEST AUTHOR IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD comes off as a bit of a greedy whore when she sues others for MORE MONEY.

assuming systems with more than said number of planets are common, or even exist (other than ours). scientists take nothing for granted. well they aren't supposed to anyway. that makes this newsworthy.
