The Amount of Work This Took is Nuts!

Kookiness in a Journal? Did Venera-14 Find Life?

Hypothetical flora and fauna of Venus

Abstract:

Hypothetical habitability of some of extrasolar planets is a fundamental question of science. Some of exoplanets possess physical conditions close to those of Venus. Therefore, the planet Venus, with its dense and hot (735 K) oxygen-free atmosphere of CO2, having a high pressure of 9.2 MPa at the surface, can be a natural laboratory for this kind of studies. The only existing data on the planet׳s surface are still the results obtained by the Soviet VENERA landers in the 1970s and 1980s. The TV experiments of Venera-9 and 10 (October, 1975) and Venera-13 and 14 (March, 1982) delivered 41 panoramas of Venus surface (or their fragments). There have not been any similar missions to Venus in the subsequent 39 and 32 years. In the absence of new landing missions to Venus, the VENERA panoramas have been re-processed. The results of these missions are studied anew. A dozen of relatively large objects, from a decimeter to half a meter in size, with an unusual morphology have been found which moved very slowly or changed slightly their shape. Their emergence by chance could hardly be explained by noise. Certain unusual findings that have similar structure were found in different areas of the planet. This paper presents the last results obtained of a search for hypothetical flora and fauna of Venus.

Triassic Kraken Returns! MUHAHAHA! (ahem)

Think you can Find it?

Forest Fenn hid the box of gold and jewels somewhere in NM.  He left a poem with hints about the locale.  The above is a picture of the poem which he left with clues as to where the box of treasure lies.

A little romance for the world.  I sure as hell hope he didnt hide it in a national monument or whatnot.  That'd seriously suck.
