Scientists just announced the discovery of an earth-like planet within the star's habitable zone only 20.4 light years away from earth. The specualtion is that so far it has all the conditions for liquid water on its surface. Liquid H2O, of course, is useful if not essential for an innumerable number of chemical reactions including several involving limestone and cave formation.
The NSS and WNS: Cooperation, not confrontation.

I have been asked by the hosting grotto to coordinate the transportation registration for NSS 3007. You can reserve your spot in the transportation device for only $329.00. Send me cash or a money order. Sorry no checks. Full refundable, of course. All you can eat pretzels included!

Anyone want to carpool to this event? I'm be residing in New Jersey in 3007. I promise not to take up much space, being a withered 1,000-year-old head in a jar. I'd normally volunteer to drive but I have trouble with both stick and manual transmissions because, you know, head in a jar.
