I got most of that, apart from the technical terms. Just in theory, which metal would you have thought most likely to be the base of a life form, sentient or otherwise? As a clearly intelligent specialist in this field, at least compared to everyone else round here, what's your opinion?
I hope I am a good enough writer that some day dwarves kill me and drink my blood for wisdom.

according to our determinedly dopey Prime Minister Mr Brown, Obama also has a beach in Normandy named after him. If that can't win you an election, what can?

On what basis do you suggest this? Iron is, as I recall, rather heavy, rather heavier than, say, Beryllium, which I would have thought thus more likely to sustain life. Then again, it might depend on the planet's gravitational field.

Also, Mr Spencer, is it theoretically possible in any way whatsoever in conceivable terms for a life form to have developed/evolved in space? As in, not on a planet and somewhere without an atmosphere or water or whatever other things humans have that has allowed to us evolve planetbound.
I hope I am a good enough writer that some day dwarves kill me and drink my blood for wisdom.
