Key Molecule for Life Found in Habitable Region of the Galaxy

A sugar molecule linked to the origin of life was discovered in a potentially habitable region of our galaxy.

The molecule, called glycolaldehyde, was spotted in a large star-forming area of space around 26,000 light-years from Earth in the less-chaotic outer regions of the Milky Way. This suggests the sugar could be common across the universe, which is good news for extraterrestrial-life seekers.

“This is an important discovery as it is the first time glycolaldehyde, a basic sugar, has been detected towards a star-forming region where planets that could potentially harbor life may exist,” Serena Viti of University College London said in a press release.

Previously, glycolaldehyde had only been observed toward the center of the galaxy, where conditions are thought to be too extreme to host habitable planets.

Glycolaldehyde is a key ingredient for life. It helps to build Ribonucleic acid (RNA), which is thought to be the central molecule involved in the origin of life on Earth. Glycolaldehyde is a monosaccharide sugar, the basic unit of carbohydrates. It can react with the chemical propenal to form ribose, the building block of RNA.

“The discovery of an organic sugar molecule in a star forming region of space is very exciting and will provide incredibly useful information in our search for alien life,” said Keith Mason, chief executive of the England’s Science and Technology Facilities Council.

The finding, made with the IRAM radio telescope in France, was announced Tuesday and will be published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters.

May your day be thankful and your turkey be 101 proof!

Fuck off and die you fucking pieces of shit! I hope you all get ball cancer and die a slow, miserable death. Fucking crooks!

Fuck you - fuck you - fuck you! Fucking scumbags!!! This is the shit that revolutions are made of. You piss me the fuck off one more fucking time and I’m going to deliver hell to your fucking doorstep! Believe it motherfuckers!

During a rambling conversation during a normal persons tridition of something we like to called “Thanksgiving” we soon discovered that watchtower lookouts Jehovah Witnesses don’t celebrate shit.  They are however fond of Family get togethers.

Can anyone tell me what a Jehovah’s Witness is?  As a kid I grew up thinking they we’re stinky pony tailed, robe wearing freakshows that hangout in airports.  Now before you get all up in my ass on this I simply learned this from watching Scooby Doo.

Weddings, anniversaries, and funerals are observed. Religious holidays such as New Year’s Day, Easter, Halloween, and Christmas are not celebrated, as Jehovah’s Witnesses believe these customs come from ancient false religions. They also refrain from celebrating birthdays.

BIRTHDAYS? WTF

Pickles has gone from swift-kicking people in the balls to outright stabbing them.  I’ve long known of Mr. Pickles affection for random aggressive maneuvers during outings of drinking (See Mr. Pickes Post - Bar Math…) Where he tried to find explnation of why there’s a photo of my arm on his cell phone…

IT’S BECAUSE YOU STABBED ME WITH A BIC PEN ASSHOLE!

And of course like two little girls we run off the the bathroom and inspect the damage… soon forgotton I remember I like having my picture taken

Just a heads up in case you thought you forgot Jones knows how to have a good time!

…. you just never know what you’re going to get and when they are going to popup

…and ask yourself “This life is not hard enough - how can I fuck this up even more?”

That was Jones’ opening statement to me yesterday when we met for drinks. Not “hello” - not “what’s up?” - Nor “Hey Buddy!”. But this…

So I got to thinking and perhaps he may be on to something. Here’s a quick test you can all take yourself. I call it the “Am I as fucked as Pickles” test.

Step One:

Does your portfolio hold a stock with a significant amount of shares that trades for under $0.15 per share?

Step Two:

Does your “bedroom” look like this:

Step Three:

Does your life savings look like this:

Step Four:

Do you have at least this many IRS Tax Liens filed against you?

Step Five:

Do your shorts look like this because you haven’t been able to buy food in a month?

If you answered yes to 3 or more of these questions, Congratulations! You’re fully-qualified to be “as fucked as Pickles”.

PS - when I asked Jones “what the fuck was that” in response to his opening statement, he replied with “you look like a sixteen year old body with a 40 year old head. I don’t know whether to give you a skateboard or a cane”.

Nice guy that Jones - nice guy…
