It doesn't even have to be his foot - he could have brought one along just for the ride. Like, in a box or something.<BR/><BR/>I say we name it Mongo.

If, in our infinitesimal quantity of discovered planets there is already one with potentially favorable conditions for familiar life, where are they? Even allowing for the lightspeed barrier any creature that reproduced as fast as we do would fill our galaxy in a geologically relative eyeblink.<BR/><BR/>Where are they?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29955732.post-5105379097711995802007-04-25T14:07:00.000-04:002007-04-25T14:07:00.000-04:00I like Planet B-612 myself.I do have the theory th...I like Planet B-612 myself.<BR/><BR/>I do have the theory that if there is intelligent life on other planets, as humans our capacity to recognize it as such is severely limited.Kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901267984474785273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29955732.post-3002159492455621542007-04-25T01:09:00.000-04:002007-04-25T01:09:00.000-04:00Hi Dr A - interesting post. it's truly amazing wha...Hi Dr A - interesting post. it's truly amazing what scientists are discovering in space.<BR/><BR/>I love the idea of "the Goldilocks problem" and I guess that is what it comes down to. Would be awesome if they discovered life elsewhere. :)SeaSprayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07906503090688697222noreply@blogger.com
