    Dang it. Somebody has to reply. I just couldn't take it any more.

    He-gassen is the only protagonist who never made it as a Masters of the Universe character, for undetermined reasons . He-Man, Skeletor, Ram Man, Mer Man, Beast Man, etc, everything butt (sic) He-gassen

    Playing devils advocate ... (with tongue in cheek)... I >could< see how something like this might be viable if you are monitoring several different vital signs. Not a life or death vital sign maybe (<- err well that could be up for debate) ... No, but seriously, think about when you have been in a scary or unfamiliar situation where you get all tensed up. Certain things do happen, and we are all human. ... Methane >can< be reclaimed and burned as fuel ... <- perhaps.

    Anyway, don't dismiss the seemingly absurd. In a survival circumstance it may be just what you need.

    With Absurd being my middle name, here's something to chew on...

    Do a search on "gas gangrene" along with methane, also with terms like Clostridial species, etc. World War 1 was bad for this type of gangrene because the soldiers were getting blown up in trenches dug in farm fields where manure was common. Their wounds would get infected by Clostridium bacteria, which don't like oxygen and are known for making methane. I'm not sure you could use a methane sensor to detect the presence of gangrene, but it's just a thought.

    I am beginning to wonder what the Brazil Olympics will be like with a huge influx of tourist fed a diet of rice and black beans. Haven't armies always relies on beans as a staple?

    That heavens that Asia is a rice or noodles diet.

    Of course, you can go ahead and blame the horses rather than the beans, but I know what's what or whatever's what.

    What?
