Aliens!

Mark Twain once wrote:

"It lies in a lifeless, treeless, hideous desert. This solemn, silent, sailless sea--this lonely tenant of the loneliest spot on earth--is little graced with the picturesque...The venomous waters are nearly pure lye and twice as salty as sea water. There are no fish...no frogs, no snakes, no polliwogs--nothing to make life desirable..."


But it does have scuba diving flies!

And, a life form recently unknown:

NASA scientists have discovered a new extreme-loving microorganism in California's exotic Mono Lake.

Damn I love science! Go...read. And tell me that second picture doesn't look like the cover of every other science fiction novel.
