While I have no scientific proof, per se, I think the distinctive “Old Person Smell” means there’s something in them that can be burned as a fuel source.

My guess is it is possibly a type of gas. That smell is most certainly not indicative of a solid fuel source. There might be an argument that a liquid fuel source produces that smell, but considering the frailty of most old people, it’s doubtful their bodies are filled with oodles of car-powerin’ liquid.

That leaves us with a “new” form of natural gas which, The Good Lord Willing, can be harnessed in such a fashion as to reduce this nation’s dependence upon Middle East oil. I say crack the suckers open and let’s find out.

Let’s really get it going….

Who would suggest such a thing? Must be those damned Waukesha County conservatives!

What?!! Are you kidding?!! I love it when you write about XHTMLs, they’re my favorite.
