Is There Life on Mars?
By Dee Shaft
SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institute, not to be confused with SOFA (Seeking Other Forms Alien), have recently updated their web site for the benefit of Geek kind. The debate rages on regarding whether life exists on the red planet and the SETI site provides plenty of interesting reading. SOFA on the other hand don't have a web site as yet but produce flyers for locals and hold meetings at the village hall in Little Significance on the Wry.
Their leader, Nicholas Bottoms (see picture), believes intelligent life does exist in the sub-surface of Mars. He explained his group believe that the intelligent beings project an hologramatic, hard light image of a long dead planet. In fact, he went on to say, they are a peaceful highly intelligent race of monopods who regularly visit earth to stock up on corned beef and baked beans.
Professor Ginger Dunk, lead psychologist at St. Trevor's Hospital says he has been probing Bottoms for some time, however, unless he and his group are willing to stop smoking dog shit and drinking each others urine there is not a lot he can do to change their views
