Ignorance is bliss?
Ok, so I'm sitting here watching Mission to Mars (I can't sleep). I'm at the end part (I'll just go ahead and spoil it because it's not a very good movie, so stop reading if you haven't seen it) where the alien is showing the astronauts how Mars was like Earth until it was hit by an asteroid. It leads me to think about Mars and the possibilities of something like that, given that when Earth "dies" it will become completely desiccated and not unlike Mars (based on whatever space theories I believe). If the conditions on Mars could at one point sustain life (which I doubt), would it therefore follow that it would be in its current state if some catastrophic event had occurred to "kill" the planet? I doubt such life would have had enough time to evolve into the highly intelligent beings as in the movie--and here my train of thought was interrupted by a preview for Dr. Steve-O. It was then I realized Earth has not yet fully developed intelligent life. Oh, sure, we have our rocket scientists and brain surgeons, but we also have the entire cast of I Love New York 2. Nature sure does like to balance things out.
Oh, wait, I just realized: Mission to Mars = Mission Space. That's why they have Gary Sinise doing the intro video! Hey, it's not my fault I forgot about this movie.
On another note, I carved a pumpkin and it's a lot harder than I remember it being. Also, if you want awesome cooked pumpkin seeds, boil them for 5 minutes and then bake them.
