Life discovered on Mars... Not exactly.

Mars Phoenix Lander touched down on the Red Planet on May 25, 2008. Although this is not the first time earth sent something to Mars, it is indeed the first time something lively was found.

For the next 4 days of its mission, the lander beamed back vivid images taken by its camera - Surface Stereo Imager. No visible life form was identified in these images, but scientists believe some of the pixels depict evidence of ice and that has been the topic of discussion and further examination for days to follow. The water quality and living condition on Mars finally proved that no life could ever have survived.

However, the mission took a dramatic turn on the 10th day. Some form of robotic machineries were found wandering around the planet, taking pictures of themselves and each other using their robotic arm, digging up soil, and collecting sample rocks and other goodies...One of the robots even came close to Phoenix and ripped off its arm and stole the patchy ice samples.

The shocking discovery of intelligent life on Mars was never thought of since the War of the Worlds fiction. Apparently, humans are not the only beings to explore the Red Planet. Other unknown civilizations have also been probing it with their kinds of exploration devices. The different shapes and sizes of these robots make scientists believe that they originate from more than one world. What on Mars were these creatures doing? Perhaps a question being asked among themselves.

Since the discovery, NASA has abandoned the Mars exploration mission. Rather, it's planning to build a permanent space center and a United Worlds on Mars as a portal for all extra-terrestrials; robots, at least. The first Milky Way Expo is also scheduled to be held in 2020. What a vision.

Lean or mean

High cholesterol is a common health issue in humans, but this may be a good thing after all.

If dude were to be put on a supermarket shelf as a food item. The food label will scare grocery shoppers away. Rich in Cholesterol, Saturated Fat, Sugars, Sodium, Caffeine; and low in Protein, Dietary Fiber, Vitamins, and Minerals, dude is the kind of junk food nobody nor alien would sink their teeth into.

But there's still no guarantee that dude wouldn't end up on a dinner plate, for nutritional values in typical food courts and buffets are probably even worse than dude, only a lot tastier.

Dude's high cholesterol level and bad tastes especially probably saved him; so readers please bear with him as this is only his way of survival.
