Haven't they already found some lichen on Mars? If you are talking sentient life, I would say that if it out there, we will find it, but probably it will take more than 50 years.

I've never actually served on a jury. However, I was called for jury duty several times. Once, it was a medical malpractice case. There had to be about 200 potential jurors. After eliminating those that knew people involved, the judge would call a juror and the juror would have a chance to ask to be excused for a reason. The judge seemed to let a lot of people go. As it approached my number, there were not a lot left after me.
At the time, I was just about to gradfuate from law school. Graduation was actually that Friday. The judge had said that the trial would last 2 weeks. When my number was called, I asked to be excused so I could attend my graduation. The judge saw that there were not a lot of jurors left and still had a couple of seats to fill. He asked me exactly when graduation was scheduled for. I said 1 pm. So he said "I can't excuse you just yet. But if I have to seat you, I'll call a recess so you can attend your graduation."
He ended up doing the same for 2 other guys. Finally, it was down to the three of us with one seat to fill. The judge picked one of the two other guys. I think the guy he picked was moving. The judge then excused me and the third guy and the two of us wasted no time getting out of there.

(APBM = another person below me, but at some point we started making it an acronym for anything else, sometimes related to the question asked)
Once I was making a potato purée in the blender. It had just come off the stove and was really hot. This was also the first time I'd done this and I overfilled the container. The steam of the purée blew the top off the blender and the contents went all over the kitchen. One corner of it, anyways.

Was there something you cooked that was so bad you just threw it out?

I never had an 8=track, I do not (yet) have an iPod, so phonograph wins by default.
My favorite vinyl memories were hunting down rarities in cramped little NYC shops (back before all rarities and obscure recordings were available everywhere on the web, and in boxed CD sets). Also, getting Pete Best's autograph on a pressing of Silver Beatles songs.

Going to see George Strait with my dad. It was a huge concert and Tim McGraw was there as well. It was just a lot of fun and my dad and I spent about half the day at that concert (it was a big mega concert).
The only downside to the day was that we didn't buy me a cowboy hat.
I've been to other concerts that were a lot more upbeat and crazier, but that was just a great day.
