    With the discovery by amateur astonomers of the flares high in Mars' atmosphere does anyone else keep hearing "Forever Autumn" (Justin Hayward) playing .... :D

    It's exciting when stuff like this happens and we don't know why.

    Yeah, well. They're supposed to be evidence of intelligent alien life, aren't they? :p

    As long as they understand sarcasm then we are fine.

    Seeing as a lot of humans don't understand it, that might be a big ask...


    But anyway the chances of anything living on Mars are a million-to-one they say...

    And how long did this new haze last?

    Pretty damn conclusive if you ask me... and I live with a space scientist so I know what I'm talking about... only I've just downed a fair sized G&T and therefore don't know what I'm talking about.

    :lol:

    Chances its something akin to Dune, just minus the spice worms. Theyve all sodded off under ground with massive water deposits or something like that.

    Anyway if were greeting our new Martian overlords, where is the cake?

    Why would Martians come here? No intelligent life on this planet.

    Yeah, go ahead and give them an excuse to sterilise the planet, lest we infect the cosmos.

    Lol.

    No words more true have ever been spoken. I mean, we rely on others understanding the concept of whit so sarcasm must be even further out of reach..
