"LiveScience is reporting on a new type of bacteria that after being frozen 32,000 years in the Arctic was ready to swim, eat and multiply instantly upon being thawed. Researchers are excited because they're the sort of microbes that might thrive in the ice sea announced on Mars yesterday. The instant revival abilities mean a future mission, if it found anything on Mars, could conceivably culture it and bring it back alive.

Maybe NASA could market them as Martian Sea Monkeys." LOL

Eek.

I've watched too many episodes of the Xfiles and too many movies and I know that thawing out frozen ice creatures never ends well.

Bringing something back from Mars and thawing it out will be THE dumbest thing a smart person has ever done.
