Keep in mind that just because it looks "earthlike" doesnt mean that we evolved from it. They can be mutually exclusive, like monkeys and man. I am to stop paying attention to it all if we start imagining little huts in the background.

Fear not, Bake. These "oceans" are liquid methane. So no space monkies here. But it's probably about time you start preparing for the inevitable -- i.e. us finding LIFE on one of these planetary bodies.
