Scientists hunting for amino acids in the giant dust cloud at the center of the Milky Way were surprised to discover ethyl formate, a chemical that smells like rum and gives raspberries their unique taste. picked by Bingo 2 months ago

I've always believed that whosoever's physical remains make it to the center of the Sun gets to be God for the next 10,000 years. This changes the game.

This is definitely one of the coolest things I've heard in a long time. In a way, I'm just a teeny bit not surprised - why wouldn't something as awesome as the galactic centre also taste like the most delicious fruit around?

It's so exciting that bigger organic compounds are being detected out there in the great beyond. I can't wait until we find life. I hope it happens while I'm still alive.

*Saunters off singing*...and pray that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space because there's bugger all down here on Earth!

I'll accept the first one as a dupe, but not the second one (though it doesn't matter)

I really searched too. Even hit the related button.

Buying daiquiris for Bingo, Chinook, Keroberos, Suebe and MeggySue will be a pleasure. I'll make sure they are doubles as well.
