According to the latest National Geographic, the Jovian moon Europa -hundreds of millions of miles from the sun- may host something fishy. Something alive—right now. Below its icy crust Jupiter's moon Europa is believed to host a global ocean up to a hundred miles (160 kilometers) deep...an ocean currently being fed more than a hundred times more oxygen than previous models had suggested, according to provocative new research.
That amount of oxygen would be enough to support more than just microscopic life-forms: At least three million tons of fishlike creatures could theoretically live and breathe on Europa, said study author Richard Greenberg of the University of Arizona in Tucson.
""There's nothing saying there is life there now," said Greenberg, who presented his work last month at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society's Division for Planetary Sciences. "But we do know there are the physical conditions to support it." Full Article Here.

good fishig huh !?!
Could not find a suitable section so I written here, how to become a moderator for your forum, that need for this?
Well first start is to stop loggin in as Anonymous. I read the comments, but honestly if someone isn't up to signing their name to a comment, I have a lot less faith that they will promote Beam Me Up (or a section that they are familiar with, eg Crywtal Wizard I count on to keep us up to date with Abandoned Towers)
I invite everyone that is editing now, so it wouldn't hurt to write me and we can start a conversation on just this matter.
