Microbes have been discovered thriving more than 5,000 feet below the ocean floor, where temperatures reach 100C, making them the deepest-living life forms known.
Could this explain the traces of methane reported to have been found in the Martian atmosphere?

No, but it might go a long way towards determining the causal factor(s) of all the surplus bovine flatulence in both "Rag Chew..." and "The Political Junkie...".

Fish were seen swimming in the deepest part of the ocean, mariana trog, 11.000 meters deep or 35000 feet
Bacreria were found living in total darkness living of sulphor and minerals, that were digested by other bacteria, producing simple sugars that other bacteria could live on near outlets of vulcanic activety in water 170 degrees Celcius...

Wait a minute. Are you saying they were 5,000 feet under the ocean floor? In other words, if the ocean was 15,000 feet deep, then these thingies are 5,000 deeper? A 20,000 foot animal?
Seems when people call the earth a living, breathing entity, they might be right.

This is a really great find. Now, lets build a new high tech sub and get some HD digitial pics of the mariana trench. Now that would be worth seeing.
Where's Dr. Ballard when you need him?

5000 feet deep in the earth's crust and at 100C/212 degrees fahrenheit temperature sure surprises me! That's the boiling point of water at sea level! Dat's hot! :eek:

The mariana trench is very interesting and should be explored.
I understand the Deepest living life forms are on Uranus
