Wow, new life guys!

NASA announced that they've found a new life form in Mono Lake, CA that isn't built from the six compounds that everything on Earth is made of - carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus & sulfur. This new wild and crazy guy uses arsenic to build himself, going beyond what scientists know to be true for all living organisms on the planet. What this means is that our understanding of how life can be created and grow is completely redefined, and scientists will now look for organisms built on other elements that may have been overlooked before. "It's like saying that we may be looking for new life in the wrong places with the wrong methods." crazy/exciting!
