Bill's greatest contribution to life was his tutorial on putting up fairy lights using his pick up truck. And he ed that up too. |

Yes, the actual quote from Sagan is "We are a way for the Cosmos to know itself." |
Right! I just read that in his voice. He was awesome. |

I don't know about you guys, but if it turns out to be that they will announce Dr.Wolfe-Simon's findings of arsenic based life forms in Mono Lake, I find this almost as exciting and fascinating as the finding of life outside Earth.
It means many things to many different fields including biology, astrobiology, philosophy, religion, etc, etc, etc. |
I, for one, welcome our new arsenic overlords! |

It has been maintained that every living thing HAS to be made up of Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Carbon, Phosphorus, and Sulfur. With the discovery of a microbe that uses Arsenic instead of Phosphorus now that has been disproven. |

I don't think religious ideas about human "specialness" are conclusions derived from facts about our biochemistry. :p |
