This is something to think about.........

In my opinion it is not a case of 'is there life on other planets?'. It's more a case of 'what life is there on other planets?'.

I also find it amusing that everything that scientists think about the existence of life on other planets revolves around our geological model. We seem to have such closeted minds on this subject.

It would not surprise me in the slightest to find that we've been visited already, but the visitors were so scared of what they saw they fled!

I'll second that, & I wouldn't be surprised if we've been fiddled about with either.

Yeah, back to what Knick was saying here's another quote from the article I found quite interesting:

Still, some scientists have a mental picture of the place. Todd Henry, an astronomer at Georgia State University, says that if you were standing on this planet and looked up, its sun would appear to be huge — five times bigger than our sun looks to us.

"It's going to look very different in this sort of alien situation that we're in than what we're used to here on Earth," Henry says. "The star itself is actually going to look sort of the color of Mars — sort of a red, ruddy color. But it would be much bigger in the sky than we're used to."

Of course there is life on other distant planets.
A planet where the wind sounds like death metal and the rain that falls is called Guiness.

The creature living there prefers to sit under some tree, catching the black rain as it drips from it's nose, and it's feet trying to keep up with the winds eternal blastbeat

Tell me the flowers on that planet are cheese-flavored and I'm moving there in a blastbeat!

What if, say, I fart? Are these ever-wondrous and beautiful flowers going to abide my gas?

Luna.
Considering the fact that these flowers with their korgul shaped leafs mostly live on the meadows of the southern Chaossphere, where the rain falls at it's blackest, and the blastbeaters farts violates the Geneva convention on a regular basis (blame it on the rain). A humans rear wind is often the fresh breeze that saves them.

Yea, 'tis where the anal winds blow that I yearn to spend my hazy daze!

Good to see you all haven't lost your insanity while I've been away, hahaha! Anyway, I have to agree with your opinions on the seemingly narrow views of many scientists on the kinds of life that lie about out there among the stars...an endlessly interesting topic, that.

Tne universe (multiverse?) is one huge laboratory in which mad cosmic scientists create many different worlds with all kinds of weird situations.

The morning after creating Earth they woke up with an incredible hangover.
