I agree. If there was a more intelligent lifeform than us they would have found us. As they haven't , which means they are dumber than us.

not neccesarily. We have discovered Bonobo monkeys, but I dont think they appreciate it properly yet

We are, probably, the oldest and most intelligent lifeform in the galaxy at this time.

And the galaxy isnt teeming with intelligent life either. If it did, we wouldnt need to be searching for 50 years for their

Judging by this planet you are correct.

If there was intelligence life in this Galaxy Nu Liebor would never get elected

You'd all better get a move on if you want the utopia planitia shipyards in business.

Aint going to happen. And the galaxy isnt teeming with intelligent life either. If it did, we wouldnt need to be searching for 50 years for their signal.

We'd see evidence of them easily, even with current technology. Also, one intelligent species could, travelling at only 1% the speed of light, colonise the whole Milky Way galaxy in around 15 million years. (Some say 10 million, some say 20 or maybe even 50 million.)

We dont see any evidence of this in a galaxy more than 13 billion years old and supposedly, teeming with other intelligent civilisations.

We are, probably, the oldest and most intelligent lifeform in the galaxy at this time.

Sulfates may be acceptable to Septics.

but obviously not to Sceptics

It's life Jim

But not as we know it

read the article closely, it clearly states that the soil is good for Sasparagurus

Is this "para" bit referring to paratrooper or paraolympic?

IGMC.

P.S. Parasitic surely?

Give it couple of billion years and Martian evolution will inevitably result in creation of spasguru creatures...

The only hope is that due to high latency of communications between Mars and Earth they won't be able to post tulip here as near as much as our own spasguru does...

[EternalOptimist]

so we are looking for a sulphate based iron oxide life form that eats asparagus and has bulging eyes.

Martian soil is fertile. We can grow plants there.

I believe Sulfates and Sulphates are both acceptable.

and when the Hammer of God finally comes hurtling through the inner solar system on an intersect course with Earth all the people will have the time to have just one thought and it shall be:-

Where's the "Oirish" Bar?

Ah, hold on, here it is

Where's the "Oirish" Bar?

And more to the point, will she be working there?

Perhaps NSFW
