Instantly my nerd-glands start salivating. Could this be it? Did a giant space-whale break-out of the ice of Europa? Did we find some awesome alien burial mound on Mars or something? I imagine it looked something like this:
But no, it's some bacteria that's been fossilized in a meteorite. God damn it, I keep getting all worked up over these news announcements from NASA, and they giving me pictures of of all these little squiggly germ fossils.
Come on! Give me the good stuff. I know these discoveries indicate life forms of some sort can exists elsewhere, but I'm certain there are other geeks out there like me who are just waiting for the big one; The day when we find some wacky looking fish things under the surface of a nearby moon or something. Who knows, maybe we'll hit paydirt and find a big old monitoring station from long forgotten alien race on Pluto.
But til' then, I guess we just have to work with what we're given. Pictures of squiggly meteorite things.
In conclusion, NASA, stop it. You're killing me.
