Titan, the moon of Saturn from which eurospace has been beaming back info,
is said to have oceans of liquid methane and an atmosphere largely composed
of the gassy version of same. No one has commented on the likely smell, but
the scientists have been saying that conditions on earth may have been
similar before the appearance of life. Which is to say that our ancestors
emerged from a great fart, or maybe a bowl of sauerkraut. I've long
suspected as much.
