Dodge never made Comets.
No, Dodge never made Comets (plural) but Dodge did make one Comet. It's in my garage and I'm quite sure it's one of the more valuable automobiles in existence. I've said too much.

Not tired of this pseudo-science conjecture yet? Not tired of this “billions of years ago” guess work that ultimately means nothing, yet?
To: ASA Vet
Do you have any pictures?

Right. Clay on comets is not good for the neck of your stringed bass.

Interesting because a scientist I heard interviewed by Seth Shostak - who'd done many Miller-Type experiments on comets - stated almost explicitly the exact opposite.She felt the best you could possibly hope for on a comet was some simple amino acids...other than that, the formation of even the simplest life would be impossible.

“Wickramasinghe worked with Sir Fred Hoyle, he’s worked in this theoretical field for quite a while now.
I fear there’s little chance of discovering protolife or a bacterium in a comet, though. A theory it shall remain.”

Sure thing, DBrow, and carriages without horses will never run. Fifty years from now (if all goes well) the legatees of Wickramasinghe and Fred Hoyle will eat comets for lunch.

Are you criticizing scientific speculation?
To: blam
Yeah, life began on a distant comet and they used Arab made magic rugs to get to earth. Matter of fact, the only invention of the Arabs.
