Just because life on earth is carbon based doesn't mean life elswhere can't be copper or helium based.Copper doesn't form large molecules. Helium is inert, doesn't bond with anything.
Sulfur and silicon, maybe...

Sulfur and silicon, maybe... Something tells me that sulfur or silicon based life forms wouldn't taste very good.

Sulfer-based life? Imagine the BO a Sulferite would give off. Come to think of it, there's some bums who hang around the liquor store near my house that just might be sulfer-based life.
