** Two Zorgians are relaxing on a beach next to an ocean of [[LethalLavaLand molten lava]], under [[DeathWorld 100 bars worth of sulfuric acid]], one of them asks if it's possible that carbon-based life using H20 as a solvant could exist, and the other laughs and tells him he watched too many stupid sci-fi movies.
* '''Deconstructed''': Silicon-based life is so [[StarfishAlien strange]] that it can't be recognized as alive by "regular" aliens, and the incredible silicon-based ecosystem on its DeathWorld goes unnoticed by scientists. Even if they do notice, they are so alien to each other that communication is virtually impossible.
