Freedom is Important because People are Important

Hello,

It really is like visiting an alien world, for it is a body of water that has been untouched for eons.

I wonder what they will find on this and future excursions into the lake?

I love learning about what lives in the deep untouched waters. The creatures down there are always very interesting and amazing.

ANY creatures down under 2+ miles of solid ice...yeah, that would be amazing.

I'm not going to deny that the title gave me brief similar thoughts Byte.

Yeah, but you're too nice to say them. I, on the other hand, have no qualms about torturing people with bad jokes.

They quit drilling and pulled out before full penetration. They knew what they were doing... trust them.

So does that qualify as literary BDSM ?

Yep, and did you know Ukranian scientists have sent a probe up to Uranus.

Wonder what they'll find up there.

That first link didn't work for me, but the other one did. I must admit, the first thing I thought of when I read that one was "oh goodie, we've found more places to pollute!" (or decimate the population of, or screw up the balance of...)

I enjoyed the repartee throughly, however. Go for it!
