My mind runs wild thinking of the different life forms that might inhabit another world. As long as they are friendly, I would love to dive into another pool of water.

Who's doing the blurring? Discoveries that so closely correlate to Star Trek and Star Wars make me wonder if astronomers aren't just looking for fictional planets and fictional characters. Maybe the astronomers want to meet Spock. But I guess it's an appropriate time to buy my <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/startrek.13508551" rel="nofollow">"I'd Rather Be On Vulcan" t-shirt</a>.
