Crazy, crazy stuff today from NASA. They're holding a press conference in 45 minutes, but info has been leaked that NASA has discovered "a new lifeform" that's building blocks are not what any other living lifeforms are formed from. Apparently this bacteria is derived from arsenic. Info here:

Wild stuff for those of you into the whole Biology realm.

READING FAIL. Their press conference already happened. It was at 2pm EST. LOL.

I have a reletive that works at NASA in Houston he was telling me all about it. Very interesting stuff. Science-Fiction no longer fiction but fact.

I actually just read a little about this on Engadget. Makes you wonder what else there is in the universe!

In this way, you can sell them to people or list the items to the brokers.
