Come to think of it, I wonder what would happen if someone struck a match...
What an incredible thought? Why do I think not?
Relax.. It's just the abominable snowman diving for noms and decided to break wind underwater.
That's really scary!
Here's a front page article from this morning's NYT.

Harness it and run vehicles on it, free methane on demand!
Science government can surely turn this into a low cost fuel source.
That stuff has been bubbling up for a zillion years making more coal from rotting vegatation.
There was a previous thread where I explained it in detail - after all I'm the scientist here
Yes, harmless - unless you go back to the Permian extinction http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clathrate_gun_hypothesis
And THAT is why people are worried about melting ice caps. But don't worry - not EVERYTHING died that time,
Doomed I Say!!!

"Brain-Eating Amoeba Fatalities Linked to Common Cold Remedy"
"...a deadly amoeba living in the tap water, called Naegleria fowleri, worked its way from their sinuses into their brains. The parasitic organism infected the victims' brains with a neurological disease called primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAME), which rapidly destroys neural tissue and typically kills sufferers in a matter of days...."

I hope that 2012 thing will not push through. I need to watch the movie of Daniel Day Lewis about Lincoln on that month and year December 2012....
Do whales fart?
Maybe we need to lift the moratorium on whaling.
Actually, it should be strengthened. The impact of whales on the carbon cycle is actually really fascinating:

This thread is going crazy!! - It's DOOMED!!!
That would be true irony, whales swimming past with 'Save the Humans' banners
I tried smoking cannabis a few years ago. I was in a hostel with friends, and they told me it would feel 'nice'. I tried first, and it was a cool experience. The sad part is that I can not remember how cool it was. But I can remember some fine memories like fresh images. There is a difference between being drugged and not.
Considering the type of posts on this thread, I guess I am
Oh I see, our jocularity has led you to believe we must be 'smokin the weed' well that's OK, but as they hang you for drug possession where I am currently, I am stone cold sober, rather than stoned!
Smoking the weed can clear up the mind. But it does not bring any revolutionary ideas. It does not produce creativity. I believe the authorities are right on that. Weed is even illegal here.
Discipline is often healthy.
Great plumes of methane gas are escaping from your local landfill. Maybe the NYT would like to report on that one as well. WB
