Every once in a while I am astonished at the things we are capable of, and this is one of the most incredible I have seen in a while...  :o

The next step is life forms that .............. give off fuel such as methane gas as waste, according to Venter.

We already have life forms that do that. Cattle, sheep & human beings.

Cattle produce more global warming gases than cars

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Personally I think we'll be using "Gas Trousers" soon that hold in the smell and are utilised as a source of natural gas to power vehicles etc.
We'll of course have to make baked beans and curry (with cabbage) an obligatory dish ;D

How's it matter if I've already got the matter? It's an infusion of anti-matter that causes the confusion; matter/anti-matter, head explodes...
