To conclude, we suggest that bioactivity of miltos, its effect on living organisms
was and is the result of a complex network of interactions between mineral and its microbiome, the organic and the inorganic component contributing, more or less, to the total bioactivity of the miltos sample, the researchers conclude. Interesting!

I’m not saying it was Martians, but ... it was Martians.

I think I dumped a box of that into my old Nova’s radiator to stop it from leaking.....

There's talk about how life got started in clays near shorelines.
If this clay is particularly bioactive, then maybe this is where it all got started.

Kinda like the way we view duct tape

No, no, no!
Clearly, it must have been coffee grounds, everyone uses coffee grounds.
Except for the heathen few insistent on black pepper.
Any other concoctions are simply voodoo crap.

Heh, yeah, other than, I'm not sure duct tape is used as medicine. :^)

Someone added some milk and heat and made milto-meal.

I have fixed a few sprained ankles and cuts with duct tape. Bet I could set a broken bone with it too...😊

Cover a wart with duct tape and it goes away.

Fascinating stuf!
Also, primitive cultures throughout the world ritually used red ochre dust in burials. I've seem Amerindian burials that were obvious after the soil surface was scraped -- because the fill dirt was distinctly reddish due to included red ochre.
I also got in a heap o' trouble with a bunch of moms -- when I taught a batch of kids how to make "war paint" by grinding red ochre on a stone, and adding a little grease ("Vaseline").
It turns out the stuff is very difficult to remove -- and lots of kids went to school with red faces for the better part of a week... '-)
