    I swear I'm not making it up. With a very big telescope scientists have found the essentials of life, alcohol and sugar, on a comet. The comet is called Lovejoy which is very very apt. I hear the bearded patriarchs and matriarchs of AH demand evidence, even a few empties:

    How do you think the building blocks of organic molecules got here in the first place? It just goes towards proof of the well accepted theories already in place.

    We're all just a fungus that developed into today's society's, on a very large comet that got caught in the sun's gravitational pull a couple of hundred million years ago!
