Bookies Stop Taking Bets on Life on Mars
Mar 3, 2004
Associated Press
LONDON - The information coming in from the Mars rovers is exciting for NASA, but it's ending some of the action for bookies in Britain.
The bookmaking firm Ladbrokes announced it's stopped taking bets on the question of whether there was ever life on Mars.
NASA scientists said yesterday that the rover Opportunity found strong evidence to suggest at least part of the Red Planet once had a wet enough environment to sustain life.
A Ladbrokes spokesman says the latest odds in favor of past life on Mars were 16-1. Back in the '70s, when the first bets were placed, the odds were 1,000-1.
He says he expects that scientists will find evidence of past life on Mars within the coming years.

Well, they've got the largest mountains/volcanos in the solar system, so that's got to beat anything the Rockies can produce, right?

Why? Do you like beer?
That's cool. Me too. Maybe there is beer on mars, but it'd be cold.
Mmmmmmm...cold beer. |
