A space robot is drilling on Mars. Click here to see the news story. It will process the material it brings to the surface with a view to ascertaining if there was ever life on Mars, or if the planet is capable of sustaining life. That reminds me of the song 'Life on Mars', sung by David Bowie, with whom I share a birthday: January 8th.

For the last few days, workmen have been drilling beside a very low dip in the road close to where I live. It's all hills and dips in this area. With heavy rain yesterday, the problem worsened and the lower portion of road sank beneath two feet of water, spreading the freshly dug soil across the surface in the form of mud.

People all over England walk the fields looking for treasure beneath the soil. A jobless treasure hunter unearthed the greatest ever Saxon hoard at Staffordshire. He unearthed 1,500 pieces of treasure. Click here to see the amazing golden artifacts and a wonderful article about the history of Britain. The treasure is currently being held at the Birmingham Museum.

Slice of moon rock is displayed at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC. When man first walked on the moon, it shattered everyone's belief that such a thing could be possible. The stars in the sky are real planets. Now, with a robot landing on Mars, we await the findings of Mars dust with baited breath.

The Earth isn't flat as our ancestors once believed. Is there life on Mars?

To think of what is buried under our feet? I know the unemployed man who found that treasure is no longer in need of employment. :)

As far as Mars? We will have to wait and see.
