Those of us who have rubbed elbows with our fellow student-athletes in Intro to Astronomy should know that the visible surface of the Sun is known as the photosphere, and it is the first layer at which the gas density has gotten low enough that photons are no longer trapped and can fly off into space, giving what we observe as sunlight.

I thought this was a parody of one time Senator from Indiana and later Vice President:

Mars is essentially in the same orbit... Mars is somewhat the same distance from the Sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water, that means there is oxygen. If oxygen, that means we can breathe.

Starting with a ribosome seems a bit like cheating -- they're extremely complex, probably Turing-complete biocomputers.

If there's proof of a supreme being, or aliens seeding life here (is there a difference), it's the ribosome.

it's Slashdot.

Just.

i mean yeah, the main theme sounded a hell of a lot like the pantera song 'mouth for war'
