    Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun on which temperatures can reach a lead-melting 800 degrees fahrenheit, apparently has huge reserves of water ice trapped in cold areas at its North Pole.

    Who'd have thunk it?:pac:

    NASA spacecraft has spotted vast deposits of water ice on the planet closest to the sun

    First it's spaceships now it's ice. Pink elephants next?

    Water = Fish

    Where there is water here on earth there are usually fishies.

    So there are proably fishies in the water in mercury and also tad poles

    I keep hearing about this and that on other planets, but until there's proof that there really is a 40foot tall bat-rat-spider-crab, I don't really care.

    Mercury in fish is a bad thing.
    Fish in Mercury would be an astronomical catastrophe.
