[escepticos] Manyana la NASA anuncia un descubrimiento en astrobiologia

[El Teleoperador]

"Descubierta una bacteria capaz de sobrevivir en arsénico".

Ya está, eso es todo. Ahora llega el cancamuso del marketing de la NASA 
y dice "A lo mejor hay bacterias extraterrestres que también sobreviven 
en condiciones extremas". Y cualquier persona normal respondería "Pues a 
lo mejor sí o a lo mejor no, y si mi abuelo tuviera ruedas sería una 
bici" y pasaría del tema. Pero un ser infrahumano como un periodista no, 
enseguida da otra vuelta de tuerca y ve "little green men".

Menos mal que estamos llamados a la extinción porque vaya tela...
