Life On Mars?
Read Time:2 Minute, 15 Second
I’ve only called it that so I can put another Bowie video up 🙂 But really though. Could there be or, perhaps more to the point, was there? The thing is I once read a book, well I’ve read hundreds of books – honest I have – but this one was fascinating if a little weird. I can’t remember what it was called or who wrote it – hang on I’ll try Google. Nope. Nothing there. I’m absolutely positive I’ve read something about this anyway. Perhaps it’s just the Bud?
Anyway. The theory, that I’m convinced I’ve read somewhere, is that humanity are actually Martians or, at the very least partially descended from Martians.
Apparently, according to what ever it was I read yonks ago, the Martians completely fucked up their world – it’s starting to sound believable already eh?
As a result of completely screwing up their world they had to go and live somewhere else and chose Earth.
However, for some reason or another that I can’t remember, they couldn’t actually survive on earth as Martians so, in an effort to preserve their species they artificially bred with the human like life forms – I think there was some mention of ‘the missing link’ about here in what ever it was I was reading.
So. Human beings became half human and half Martian – or something like that.
It all sounds absolutely ludicrous don’t you think except that by including the bit about the Martians completely fucking up their planet it immediately makes you think ‘hang about, that’s what we’re doing!’ thereby suggesting that we may indeed be descended in part from Martians as we are now doing what they did and fucking up our world.
On the plus side of course, it appears that it just might be possible in the not overly distant future, that humanity could actually colonise Mars which, in a way, would be both bizarre and apt.
Martians fuck up Mars, come to Earth and artificially breed with our ancestors. We fuck up Earth and go live on Mars. We then fuck up Mars and come back here to Earth once it’s recovered and fuck it up all over again before returning to Mars after it’s recovered and fuck it up all over again ad infinitum.
I wonder if that’s were Elton John got that ‘Circle Of Life’ song from? Perhaps he’s more Martian or something.
So there you have it folks. ‘My Favourite Martian’ was actually filmed with a real Martian pretending to be Lee Marvin pretending to be a Martian.
Actually, I saw a chap the other day with a crooked little finger. Oh eck! Where’s Roy Thinnes when you need him??

I think the idea of life floating around from some cosmic source and seeding planets is called Panspermia. There are a lot of jokes in their I know, but I’ll resist.
It must be an attractive idea for so many scientists to keep talking about an idea that when ranked amongst others in order of plausibility is at the very bottom. There’s that old Occam thing about the explanation that requires the fewest conjectures and inventions and assumptions being the most likely, but certainly if life can evolve somewhere it can evolve elsewhere. I think that’s a solid assumption, so if it can evolve there it can evolve here and that possibility doesn’t involve the idea of it floating around on rocks throughout the galaxies with all the massive radiation and somehow landing and being viable on Earth. It’s just silly and this is why they never talk about probability or let you think one in a quintillion is the same as one in one
