A probe descends from alien world On Titan, moon of Saturn Unknown, unwelcomed Snooping, transmitting. Rocks, we say, like those on Mars, And squeeze each bit For all it knows. Another world invaded Another sci-fi lost

I understand this sentiment all too well. And few new mysteries arise to replace those lost.

On another note, did you read about the group that developed an ink jet printer that can print swaths of human skin? They say bits of bone are next, and then organs. Of course, you realize: ready or not, "Print-A-Pet" is coming.

No, I did not hear that, but I want a Print-A-Good-Man machine. The kind out there on the street all come with too many self-inflicted faults.

Another world invaded another sci-fi x-file for the inhabitants of Titan.

Do they have an Area 59?

I believe they have three digits on each pseudo-pod so they count in base six. So maybe they have an area 54.

This is not logical, Dan, so unlike you. If they count in base 6 then our Area 59 would be Area 135. But then, I suppose they can have an Area 54 it they want to. Sorry if I offend a cherished belief.
