The possibility of life on Venus !!! :eek:

Given the conditions on our sister planet ... I do not want to meet something that grew up there. It would make Danaerys Targaryen's dragons look like fluffy lovable little kittens ... (even if it is microbial.)

:tumbleweed: :teef: :P
Don't worry, the chances of anything coming from Venus are a million to one against. And all they've found so far are some tripods. Oh, hang on a sec.

There must be some sort of chemical reaction to create it there - pressure, temperature, something catalytic? - that precludes it here.

Of all our neighbours, Venus? I just don't believe there are biological processes going on in that environment.

One of the most historically significant astronomical telescopes in the world is under threat from wild fires on the west coast of the USA. Looks like the firefighters are making mighty efforts to protect it. Given the scale of these fires, they must be exhausted. :(

The State of California makes great use of prisoners as firefighters, and then usually denies them genuine employment as firefighters upon their release, due to their prison record.
