    I wonder where this theory goes in terms of that icy moon of jupiter with the geysers (either Europa or IO - I get the two mixed up)? Wonder whats under their ice.

      Io is the volcanic moon, Europa is the ice moon.

          Dammit WC, l was going to answer that!

          And there is a moon around Saturn that has been recently confirmed to have an ocean, that is substantially bigger than Earths. And if we can show that its core is active, then deep sea volcanic vents are more than likely! More lifeforms in our solar system! If l remember correctly this is fresh water than salty!

          It's pronounced fool moon south of the Mason Dixon line.

        Thanks - I have a mental block on this one. Studied astronomy for a year in college, keep up a little bit with the science now, and over all the years, I've never been able to remember which moon is which. It seems to me they named them backwards. Europa should be volcanic, it just sounds more earth-like and eruptable.

    Why do garden gnomes smell so bad?
    So that blind people can hate them as well.
