Something Incredible

According to today's paper there're an awful lot of planets in our little branch of the Milky Way thought capable of supporting life. And I'm talking big, big numbers here - like five hundred million or something. Definitely more than ten, at any rate.

So here's a thought: it'd be pretty incredible if there were really life out there, eh?

But then, here's another: it'd be pretty incredible if there weren't.

So either way, it's all a bit mind-boggling. Which leads me to mention the incredible lamb shank the missus just cooked for dinner, which puts both the former observations into some kind of perspective.
