Giant string of organic molecules discovered on Mars (www.livescience.com)

Organic molecules discovered within a stone on Mars cannot be fully explained by nonbiological processes, and it's "reasonable to hypothesize" that living things could have formed these odd organic molecules, a NASA-led team reports in a new study. However, this doesn't mean scientists have found definitive proof of life on Mars, they cautioned.

"I know some of these words!"

I get the gist but damn if journals don't remind me I'm not as smart as I think I am...
