Scientists peering through a ground-based telescope say the surface of Saturn's planet-sized moon Titan appears dry and not awash in oceans of liquid hydrocarbons as is commonly believed.

If this is true, then it condradicts what Cassini is seeing, with the lakes of methane. I wonder which will win out.

I'll take a glass of H²0 please.

From what I best can make out it says: "Loaf of bread, 1/2 gallon of Low fat and Longhorn cheese" Lovely, just lovely.
