A very intriguing article in the UK's Guardian newspaper today. I thought it might be of interest to some of you.... www.guardian.co.uk/science/2010/nov/30/10-big-questions-science-must-answerI am not a scientist.....but it presents some interesting thoughts even for such numpties as myself.

Wouldn't it be better to develop to a completely airborne creature since 100% of the planet is covered by air?

Even though the majority of the gas is nitrogen, the hydrogen sulphide element drags the gas back down to earth. Thus it is easy enough to fly above it.
