Haha don't believe that crap ;) Hell, even the article you linked us to is about how you shouldn't believe that crap ;)

Anyone can say whatever they want :P Thats what the internet is for. Even something with "Journal" at the end, doesn't mean its reputable.

If we DID find life ANYWHERE. Even bacteria in a meteorite (this has ALL been debated before, the best example is a meteorite called Allan Hills 84001 (ALH84001). It caused a huge splash back in the 90s when someone thought they found bacteria fossils. The consensus turned out to be that it wasn't life, only like 1 group (the people who published it) believed it scientifically. However, go to the Smithsonian, and notice that it is the ONLY meteorite that is in a case inside the main case... amuses me :)

However, when we do find life, my bet is something bacteria related.

if we find anything ourselves with our present technology then yes chances are it will be something low on the evolutionary scale, however if something finds us all bets are off... ;)

An alien life form has found us years ago. It thrives on alcohol and indolence, and has settled on an island before the coast of Belgium. They worship an old prat and call her 'Queen'.
Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs and the Universe trying to build bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

Do they still exist? I know they did, calling themselves 'Fervent', but I thought their kin went extinct...

We didn't go extinct, some of us took over the asylum :)
