Unusual Silica Rich Soil Discovered on Mars (18 Dec 2007)

is usually created by either volcanic steam or a hot spring.

The Incompetency Syndrome has struck such a vast amount of peoples from all walks of life; the figures out rank any infliction to-date. Even worse yet, these people display a self-confidence in their incompetence.

Logic says it is just not going to happen. http://www.msss.co...
