Well, no, not life on Mars, but HELLA WATER. Days ago. Which means there was probably some sort of life.
“The big surprise from these new results is how pervasive and long-lasting Mars’ water was, and how diverse the wet environments were,” said Crism’s chief scientist Scott Murchie, from the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Maryland.
David Bowie is stoked.

As it’s John Lennon’s birthday and I’m not about to sit here and do what I’m supposed to be doing (editing articles so Dubs can be happy with life), I did a little more John Lennon research (read: googling off.)
For instance, most song lyric sites have the David Bowie lyric to “Life on Mars” wrong. “Now the workers have struck for fame / ‘Cause Lennon’s on sale again.” Workers? Lenin? C’MON.”
One of the articles I edited made a reference to Chuck Berry, so I started looking him up. And then serendipity struck.
It’s cool to see John Lennon jamming with Chuck Berry, but the best part is Chuck’s facial expression when Yoko Ono starts…er…singing?

1:12. Classic.
I am now looking up “Chuck Berry” and “pee pee,” because I vaguely remember stories about how he, in his personal life, has a sexual proclivity towards “waste play.” I’ll post what I find next…this is by far my most productive day at Synthesis, ever.
