| quote: | Properties common to terrestrial organisms (plants, animals, fungi, protists and bacteria) are that they are cellular, carbon-and-water-based with complex organization, having a metabolism, a capacity to grow, respond to stimuli, reproduce and—through natural selection—adapt.
An entity with the above properties is considered to be organic life. However, not every definition of life considers all of these properties to be essential. For example, the capacity for descent with modification is often taken as the only essential property of life. This definition notably includes viruses, which do not qualify under narrower definitions as they are acellular and do not metabolise. Broader definitions of life may also include theoretical non-carbon-based life and other alternative biology. |

Okay. Okay. Serious answers now.
1. What is your definition of life? explain
1) A fun board game. I'm not very good at it, though.
2. do you believe there is life elsewhere in the universe? explain
2) Yes. I saw some at Toys'r'us the other day.

i think im gonna start with something like this...
I see life as everything known to man, from people and animals, to everything existing in the universe. Everything started from something and I think that for something to be living, it does not require having a heartbeat, life is everywhere.

| Life, to me is a journey that we all take in order to improve ourselves in a number of ways. Some people make financial progression the most important priority in life. Others go about life in a more self-conscious way, attempting to become selfless and as helpful as they can be. |
