NASA discovered that red Mars has waters;
I suspect its tears of aliens' daughters,
and, I wouldn't bet that Mars is all wet
since it hasn't quite been announced yet
And, if Mars' all chock full of moisture,
why not archaeobacteria in dank pastures?
But, for those who want to migrate there,
I suggest you take an arsenal to prepare
for whatever else hides in craters there
Take atomics, and rocket-launch grenades,
take deadly henbane and toxic nightshade,
take death-metal, rap, facebook, twitter
Take Boy-George, Bono, with Gary Glitter,
enough drugs to obliviate feeling bitter

I read "Spiders from Mars", which reminds me of an excellent 70's album by Mr Bowie

Is that water safe for drinking?!?!

My artesian source says it tastes like salty kool-aid, and he gets it straight from the subterranean aquifer.

I would assume that's it's probably not safe to drink without a lot of purification, but I do not know enough about how science works to tell you.

NO

Ice and salt, who would have thunk it could be liquid in a cold environment? And how long would this liquid water exist?

CCC - Cryptic Crossword Clue
OTD - Of the day
WSO - Winner Stays On
You will see these terms used regularly.
If the clue says WSO, the winner is responsible for the next day's clue.
So, if you guess, be prepared in case you win to enter a clue for the following day.

Thanks for it. This sounds cool.

It's a hard call, but when one country is basically Granny's and the other Dad's you are going to have these altercations. We get the same problem with Scotland/Ireland matches [without actually being related to the monarchs of the realms]

I did not know we had a king![^]
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

It's a running joke that Her Maj, and her family are all basically German. To Quote "Blackadder Goes Forth"
Darling: I'm as English as Queen Victoria
Blackadder: So your father's German, you're half German and you married a German.
Better that than French I suppose.
