From slashdot: NASA is set to hold a press conference at 2pm today to announce "significant findings." The nerds are up in arms. If they announce they've found water -- which is what everyone's saying they will, given the apparent presence of mud and ice in recent rover photographs -- then combined with past experiments (dismissed at the time) hinting at the presence of microbial life, this could be a pretty big day for science.

So clearly this will all result in the unleashing of an unspeakably devastating and hypervirulent space-plague. All that remains to be seen is exactly how it will destroy humanity. My guess is it turns monkeys violent and superintelligent. Or maybe bees. Anyway, I'm open to other hypotheses.
