Those cliff notes made no sense at all, haha.. it made me even more confused about what this post was about until I read the link.

The article explained it quite well though... it's pretty cool that there's still so much about this world and about life that we still don't know a thing about.

how do you know we won't be the phosphorus overlords of our new arsenic slaves?

[nature boy]

those cliff notes could have done without the last two bullets.

all this really means is that life isn't as simple as we thought and that class m planets mean nothing when looking for strange new worlds and new civilizations and boldly going where no one as gone before.
