Article.

Remember back when scientists thought you needed water and oxygen to sustain life? Then they found that lake or whatever in California with arsenic based lifeforms (google it or search the forums, it was posted here somewhere).

Now they've found fossils of sulfur based life.

Interesting stuff.

It has gone from life is this extremely fragile thing that needs just the right circumstances to it is hard to find a place on earth where there isn't life.

Individual organisms - or even entire species - can be fragile. But life as a whole is and has never been fragile. You could totally crack apart the Earth into another asteroid belt, and there'd still be microorganisms living on/in it.

Life is damned resilient. Sometimes annoyingly so.
