"The BBC reports that evidence has been found for both water vapour and carbon dioxide on a planet 63 light years away (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/7775471.stm). The planet is a 'hot Jupiter' with a surface temperature of 1173K and an orbital period of just 53 hours. The gases were found spectroscopically once its orbit had been deduced from observation. NASA hailed the news as proof that Kepler (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler_Mission) will be able to do its job of finding planets capable of supporting life." Wikipedia also has an entry on the planet, dubbed HD 189733b (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD_189733_b).

Don't be silly, his mom is filled with random vagrants' cum from her sleeping on the bus stop bench.
