John Savard ====================================== Yeah right... look for Martian canals -- none found look for Martian cities -- none found look for little green men -- none found look for a blade of grass -- none found look for an ant -- none found look for a mite -- none found look for bacteria -- none found look for viruses -- none found look for protein -- none found look for amino acids -- none found look for carbon atoms and H2O -- YIPPEE! We found the building blocks of life on Mars! What an important question to answer! I saw a rock in one picture. Rocks are the building blocks of cathedrals. |
