I'm undecided. I'm not sure if I want to be a Qualified Witch, or an Astrobiologist...

Welsh university offers extraterrestrial degree

Wed Sep 28,12:27 PM ET

LONDON (AFP) - A British university has launched a three-year degree course in the hunt for life beyond the planet Earth.

The University of Glamorgan this week launched what it said was Britain's first undergraduate course in astrobiology, the search for extraterrestrial life.

It cited the recent excitement over the possibility of finding life on Saturn's moon Titan as an example of how the search for life beyond Earth is a "major driving force" behind current space programs.

About half a dozen people enrolled this week in the degree course, which will encompass topics like "Exploring the Sky," "Vertebrate Zoology," "Science and the Media," and "Life in the Universe", the university said.

Course leader Professor Mark Brake said there was massive interest in the topic. About 100 people in the local community are studying aspects of the subject.

Though the course will examine popular culture, including films like "ET," students will also study obscure texts, work in laboratories and conduct stargazing.

"People's interest in quite serious and scientific sober issues is often sparked by popular culture," Brake said.

do you suppose this is a bigger plan by the university to exploit students of their money who feel that they may be able to exploit the spiritually vulnerable of their money?

I don't think people who take those courses are spiritually volunerable - just curious.


I want to be a rock star when I grow up.

Definitely rich. More money, more money. I would rater be rich now and not wait until I grow up because that may not happen.


I am undecided what I want to be when I grow up. Aren't most of us? Although, I have always wanted to go to space, not to do experiments or research, just for the view.

GONNA BE A BEAR


In this life I am a woman. In mynext life, I'd like to come back as a bear. When you're a bear, you get to hibernate. You do nothing but sleep for six months. I could deal with that.


Before you hibernate, you're supposed to eat yourself stupid. I could deal with that too.


When you're a girl bear, you birth your children (who are the size of walnuts) while your sleeping and wake to partially grown, cute, cuddly cubs. I could definitely deal with that.


If you're a mama bear, everyone knows you mean business. You swat anyone who bothers your cubs. If your cubs get of line, you swat them too. I could deal with that.


If you're a bear, your mate EXPECTS you to wake up growling. He EXPECTS that you will have hairy legs and excess body fat.


Yup, gonna be a bear!
