TERRAFORMERS! Biospheres in disguise!

Very intriguing!

It sounds as though they just sort of threw down any old plant they could find, and only the fittest (as Darwin knew) would survive. I wonder what sorts of critters are around there. I'm sure it's got birds and maybe some turtles. There's bound to be bugs. But I wonder if there's rats, for instance, from the ships or any other sort of mammal or lizard.

Great find! Two thumbs up!

But seriously, that is frightening, and amusing. So is this (http://www.cracked.com/article_18718_6-famous-unsolved-mysteries-that-have-totally-been-solved.html).

That's... pretty amazing all in all. I wouldn't have thought that we hadn't been giving old Charlie enough credit, but it seems we genuinely weren't. Very interesting news.
