Title: Snow on Mars

In a press conference Monday afternoon, NASA officials said that a laser instrument on the lander has been taking readings of the Mars atmosphere and recently detected snow falling from clouds about 2.5 miles above the planet's surface. The snow apparently is evaporating before reaching the ground.

NASA today also noted that recent soil experiments onboard the lander found the presence of calcium carbonate -- a main ingredient in chalk -- and clay. Both are formed with liquid water.

My wife sent me this and the subject of her email was "... and it's raining men on Uranus".  Now she just has to strike me down and her conversion will be complete.

That's so damn cool.

I swear, if I could press a reset button on my professional/work life/career, I'd be an astronomer/scientist/whatever it is the NASA guys are doing.

Oh yes sir, I approve of our new vaguely-Irish alien overlord hotties. Are they hiring concubines?
