I swear that every year for the past 20 years:

  • A signal from aliens is found
  • A "structure" is discovered in space (the structure is gas)
  • AIDS is cured
  • Cancer is cured
  • Evidence of water is found on Mars

My brain has boy-who-cried-wolf'd itself into ignoring stories about these topics because I've been trained to believe that they're bullshit lol

At least one of those has come true. Frozen water has 100% been confirmed on Mars.

Now, the wishful part this year is liquid water being detected underground by seismometers (sp?)
