An account of experiments supposedly conducted on living cells recovered from a downpour of "Red Rain" in India, 2001. The cells were observed to grow at 300 degrees Celsius, and pressure up to 300 pounds per square centimeter. The cells were seens to reproduce by budding, although chemical analysis did not show the presence of phospherous; present in the backbone of DNA.
There then follows an interview with the researcher, Godfrey Louis, who carried out the experiments.

Apparently there's a paper published on this research, the pdf of which eludes me for the moment, but I'm sure it's a blast so here's the citation:
