Is There a Sign of Life On Venus? 'Maybe' Is Better Than a Hard 'No'
...But life on Venus? That would change our view of Venus and a lot else. We have known for a while that “life as we know it” isn’t what we once thought it was. On earth, creatures have adapted to live in the most extreme circumstances. From boiling hot water spewing out of volcanic jets at the bottom of the ocean, to the thin, cold upper reaches of our atmosphere, we keep finding stuff alive. The discovery of “extremophiles” has expanded our understanding of the conditions that may foster life off of earth. The so-called Goldilocks Zone of habitable worlds and conditions may be wider than we expected, or ever even suspected.

It’s possible, though very unlikely, that one or more of the earth missions to Venus contaminated the atmosphere in some way and Greaves’ team is picking up evidence of that. It’s even possible that the origin of any life found there originated here. Meteorites have been known to thump Mars, sending up plumes of rocks that landed on earth later, and vice versa. It’s possible that something struck earth hard enough to put a piece of our world over on that one. The famous Allen Hills meteorite, which was once suspected of showing the traces of Martian life, is such a rock. It’s a piece of Mars sent to earth by a cataclysmic crash. We didn’t have to go Mars to look for life. Mars came to us....

To no one's surprise, expensive, tasteless Pizza in a close-packed environment designed to transmit childhood disease, is not a good business plan during the pandemic. Chuck-E-Cheese is going BK. The problem? Each of those prize tickets is worth something. It might be worth only 1/20th of an eraser, but, something.

https://www.restaurantbusinessonlin...andemic-restaurant-closures-will-be-permanent

CEC Entertainment has reached agreements with three of its suppliers to pay for and destroy the unwanted tickets for about $2.3 million, according to the filing. That's about $1 million less than the cost of circulating them. If the 7 billion tickets made their way into the pizza-stained hands of game-playing children, they could be redeemed for approximately $9 million in prizes.
"Since Prize Tickets are redeemable by guests at significantly higher value than the cost of Prize Tickets, the Debtors believe it is in the best interests of the estates to mitigate any risk of these tickets being circulated to the general public," CEC Entertainment's attorneys wrote in the document.
