My old avatar

Just for fun... I'm not making any claims here.

A story involving the origins of my old avatar is in the fringe news.

I thought it was about the creepiest [so called] ET photo that I'd ever seen, hence the choice.

FYI, my current avatar is a highly magnified shot of microalgae with the fuel producing oil pockets stained red.

So your saying your not really a "gray", but in fact you are a microalgae? What in the world has Tsu been feeding you?

Ivan Seeking

Mostly nitrogen.

Microalgaes produce mainly sugars and long-chain hydrocarbons - eg for ethanol and biodiesel.
