Wow! 3 new species of bacteria orbiting in the upper atmosphere. Just think of what they would find circling...

Indian scientists discover bacteria....Hmmmm....now that’s a stretch.

...they are from outer space. Explains why Pelosi never blinks.

I thought her plastic surgeon just pulled the skin a little too tight, rendering a blink impossible. In seeking explanations, one must never forget Occam's Razor.

Fred said that they've been there all along. We came from space ourselves according to this excellent book.

There is air.
Otherwise, it would not be called “the stratosphere”.
It would be called “Outer Space”

I’d hate to think how many new kinds of bacteria are living under this desk...

meteorologists are starting to believe it is these airborn bacteria that act as ‘seeds’ for rain and snow and not microscopic dust clumps. i read about it recently in a science mag blurb.

You might have a few unknown types under your fingernails...

Estimates of the number of human cells in an adult human being range from about 50 to 100 trillion.

Estimates of the number of living bacteria in an on an adult human being to be TEN TIMES that number.

Like it or not, we’re mostly cooties!

Cool! Did you ever read Saturn by (I think) Ben Bova? Plot wise, it was only an average story, but he posited the rings of Saturn were discovered to be composed of life forms. That alone made the book worth reading.
