Dr. Tyson’s research is going to improve our understanding the mechanism of global warming!

To: Red Badger
Yep. Just like propane. The additives are there to help people notice if there’s a leak.
To: Red Badger
These things are still DNA/RNA creatures.
We haven’t been able to take the chemical origin of life back any further — nothing in the present, and nothing in the fossil record.
But something had to come earlier, since DNA and RNA are complex molecules.
Maybe something on Mars will give us a hint.

I think these things are pretty dangerous. One almost destroyed the Enterprise once.

Hah, I could have saved them a lot of money. Rather than look deep beneath the ocean, should just check the intestinal tracts of those of us on the other side of 55.

Smell is ‘how’ they communicate.

Just because we can’t smell it, doesn’t mean that methane producing microbes can’t.

My old man once stated that the solution to the Middle East problem is to develop a microorganism that converts crude oil into sand, and to nuke the whole of Saudi Arabia with it.

Put a tiny drop of t-butyl mercaptan underneath somebody’s front porch and watch the fun begin.
