Actually, I think they believe it's liquid water. Yes, very exciting stuff.

If somehow the Earth ends up crumbling into 10000000's of pieces, we can put the pieces on Titan as islands and live there.

Yaaaay.

It won't be liquid water, its too cold there.

I'm much more interested in what's under the icy surface of Europa, but thats technically impossible to find out for now.

not water, liquid methane I think.

Well, I doubt we'll get anything cool from Huygens... remember what happened the last time the ESA tried a probe? (mars...failure)

Duh....I'm silly. Wait, no! Maybe it's just really COLD water! Like in North Carolina!

Last I heard they believe there might be "molten ice" on the surface of Titan. I've heard liquid methane aswell. Is the Titan probe supposed to send back images?

Molten ice...I'm sorry, but how is that different from water? Canis familiaris is still a dog, right?

Sorry, you will have to take your question to the Astrogeologists, I'm just quoting them.
