http://gizmodo.com/5704158/nasa-finds-new-lifeWhen we are discovering arsenic-based lifeforms (something which is far more incredulous and unlikely based on it being a huge reversal/contradiction of our understanding of life) it seems highly believable given the size and mathematical likelihood that life on other planets exists.
this is old and still controversial, the media hyped that thing so much
it is not for sure known if they incorporate arsenic instead of phosphorus in their metabolism, the only thing known for sure is that they resist abnormally high concentrations of arsenic, which is toxic to almost all other life forms
