Paul Harvey referenced this story this morning:

Colder Than -- Mars!

(Ithaca, NY) 01/15/04 - According to Cornell University News Service, the temperature inside the Gusev crater on Mars measured 12 degrees early Wednesday afternoon.

In Rochester, New York it was just three degrees, according to the senior climatologist at Cornell’s Climate Center.

It is day on Mars when it is night in the United States, but around the same time, January 14, temperatures in many northeastern cities were colder than Mars.

.............................................

The view out our media window that we now have on the Martian landscape will be slowly seeping into our collective consciousness. Predictably, it will expand our conceptions of some things that are very deeply a part of our psyches - things like landscapes that appear in our dreams, the presence of robots in our lives, our very conception of what we call "life," and some things of which we probably still have no idea...

As we come to better know our next-orbit neighbor, this thread can also be a place where we create a new bunch of aphorisms comparing "life" on Earth to "life" on Mars...

It was as cold as Mars here in PA yesterday!
