Seasons

So, what I heard about coming from a cabbage patch is not true!

So is it developing life or is it just zapped goo?

Too early to tell. Ask me again in a couple of billion years.

So... they're a virus?

Well, there's no sign of a host, so more like bacteria or algae perhaps. There must be some sort of self-replication - perhaps RNA based. I'm not at all sure they've evolved to full DNA yet (see http://nobelprize.org/chemistry/articles/altman/)
It's how they use the phosphoester bonding to cleave to the TCP/IP stack to get online in the first place that puzzles me...

If you ask me, they all came from Mars millions of years ago when there was still water on that planet. They realized that, through cloning, their brain matter was slowly decaying, so they came to Earth to survive, and destroyed all evidence of their planet! Ha! I'm a genius!!!

Sounds like the plot from the game "Destroy All Humans!" to me... That game's fun!

Then again wasn't there evidence of bacterial life on mars?

Hmm, that might work. Except that I can see mars out of my study window even as we speak (well, type). But then again, there is an asteroid belt where the fifth planet ought to be. Do you suppose even Leeds organisms could be stupid enough to blow up the wrong planet?...

Or maybe there was an accident and mutated blobs landed?

Ha ha...I love how serious and sarcastic you guys can be at the same time.

Aaah, Destroy All Humans.... That is, without a doubt, the most fun video game I've ever played!!!

Yeah it is pretty fun, but my Xbox is dying...
