VIKING PROBES TO MARS TO > __________ ___________________ | KILL ALL THOSE MICROBES When I started seeing headlines like 'NASA may have killed Martians" I skipped right by them and didn't even read the story. I couldn't bring myself to hear even one more time about how the guy who developed the life tests for the Viking craft was convinced that the experiments came back with positive results but NASA was to incompetent to see that and I could tell that these headlines were yet another in a long 30 year line of attempts by this guy to have his name vindicated. He is kind of like a troll on Usenet, he just keeps coming even though no one wants to hear what he says because he is full of it and 'it' starts with a capital 'S'. About a week later I got confirmation that my first hunch was right. I don't normally avoid news stories and I almost never ignore science stories but once in a while a headline comes by that is so loaded with baggage that I have to pass it by and this was it. Ok that rant went on a little longer than I had planned. ... Hmm.. maybe after a few edits I should include that in my Glitchs and Geeks geekcast.
