Gibson Inc. will hire the same lawyers who worked for SCO and the recording industry, and then sue
everyone who ever played "air-guitar" at a concert, beginning with the Beatles at Shea Stadium in 1964.
Hey, have you read Thomas Gold's book, THE DEEP BIOSPHERE? He believed that there are micro-organisms; just as you've described, living all through the Earth's crust, that excrete hydrocarbons and thus are the source of natural gas and petroleum. Thus there never was or will be "peak oil"; we'll never run out of "fossil" fuels because they're always being replenished.
I haven't read through all the chatter on this thread, so maybe someone else mentions this, but we've had a good look at most of the worlds in our Solar System, which have shown us some very diverse environments (contrast Mercury with Earth and Titan, Jupiter's satellite). We haven't seen anything lifelike yet. So, although it's a very short baseline for drawing conclusions, we see at least some evidence that conditions may have to be similar to Earth's for life to arise.

Somehow, you knew that there was a planet "just for girls"...
That's beautiful, LOL.(:D>
Excellent point about the need for biodiversity.
Not only that, but sometimes breasts are big enough to make other things not IMPOTENT!

I don't know. The Google super-geniuses are already beginning to worry me...
...they've got Eliot Spitzer's lady friend "Kristen" appearing before a "select" committee. Oh, to be a fly on the wall!
Your Assholinesses. We hear and obey! (immediate heel-clicking, extended-right-arm, fascist-type salute)
They were afraid that if they had simulated a whole mouse, the boys at Apple would steal it.
I told you, Fried-Feet, ; only land on the Sun at night.
John Steinbeck wrote in "East of Eden" that when Andrew Carnegie died,
all he heard people say was "Thank God that S.O.B. is dead".
I know that's you, Ballmer. Anonymous, my ass!
You should try a real live vagina instead of the Palmer Twins.
Hey, man, got change for a fifty?
Yes, but he also had several ideas that turned out to be correct; one was that the sense of hearing was an active, not passive, mechanism.
A good book on the topic: Quantum Evolution, by Johnjoe McFadden.

Only after Bruce Lee pummelled him in EnterTheDragon. He secreted all over the film-set.
The Mighty Giant Sequoia is totally immobile, defenseless against the lowly woodpecker.

He's sixty-seven. Have you ever seen a sixty-seven-year-old's secretions?
Haven't you guys been listening to Al Gore? The polar isn't icing, it's de-icing! Wake up and smell the carbon dioxide!
Chuck Norris is sixty-seven. He's probably more interested in Viagra/Geritol cocktails than kryptonite.
You mean like Cherry PopTart?
