Methane on Mars could signal life

Great. That's all we need in the solar system, Fartians.

From the linked article:

The failed Beagle 2 mission had a device that could have sniffed the Martian atmosphere for methane.

And it would have reported back "Ewwwww..."

Any astronauts better bring a lighter.

Oh, great.

In 5th grade (1976), me and a buddy got to attend a local meeting of the British Interplanetary Society where they talked about the upcoming Viking landings on Mars. This buddy of mine passed wind, and whispered to me, "I wonder if there's gas on Mars."

And now, that stupid little incident has come back around to haunt me!! Auuuuuggggh!!
