I feel like this is permanent state for me.
I'm blaming mine on my meds. Which is why I was up working at 5.
Bye, now. Have good sex.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Did you guys catch any of the other men's semi?
Because that was an excellent match.

Me too. But since we're not even supposed to eat at our desks here, I can't imagine how they would react to live animals.
Well, that's very sensible. Imagine all the hair you'd ingest if you were eating at a live animal--not to mention the dramatically increased risk of spillage.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A biofuel startup in Illinois can make ethanol from just about anything organic for less than $1 per gallon, and it wouldn't interfere with food supplies, company officials said.
Huh. My first reaction was skepticism, but the article sounds like this is a real possibility....
Of course, the whole thing is being funded by some fly-by-night tech company called "General Motors"....
Rather than fermenting that gas or using thermo-chemical catalysts to produce ethanol, Coskata pumps it into a reactor containing bacteria that consume the gas and excrete ethanol.
It's bacteria poop!

Corn is about the worst choice for making ethanol, from efficiency, environmental, just about every perspective. Well, puppies would be worse I guess. But not by much.
My boss's dog comes and visits me (for petting) on most days.
I wish. Then I could just blame it on that. As is it, I have to live in a carefully constructed fantasy world where the hair is invisible and no one ever notices it. So I'm LA LA LAing your post, Jesse, sorry.

You could go for a hairless animal.

A hairless cat, for example.
I am amazed at how much fur my cat has. She's actually very tiny, but she looks normal-sized from all the fur....

Guess we'll see if they can scale the process up. I think that is the problem with using bacteria to produce butanol, it works on a small scale but doesn't scale yet. BP is working on making butanol, so hopefully something will come out of that. Butanol is a lot better fuel than ethanol.

Couldn't agree more. The push for corn ethanol is a bit of a sham.

I wonder if one could make ethanol from dog and cat fur....
eta: Or dust bunnies.

I saw this head line this morning and my mind immediately assumed that 'Md.' was an abbreviation for 'Mad' which would have been awesome.
Md. Scientists Build Bacterial Chromosome
But alas, the 'Md.' stands for Maryland. Although Maryland is where the majority of mad scientists come from, the scientists in question appear to just be normally awesome.
