I think, as a military wife for as long as I was, I know all I need to know about "methane gas"...
I said "Hello, how are you our Vixen?"
Hiya, Dr. Ms. PV!
How are you, and how is Winston?
He said, "Hi! How's our Vixen?"
(... and, truth to tell, I was thinking, "Our?")
(As was I...)
LOL! Makes more sense... The translator said it means "Hello, as these ours they vixen?"
Well, I guess I'm everyone's vixen, in a way. I'm used to squish your grapes.
I said "Hello, how are you our Vixen?"

Hmmm. That's a slightly different way of translating that, isn't it?
Perhaps some explanation is in order. Don't bother reading all this now, but you may be entertained to peruse it later, when guffaws will not disturb your neighbors.

And, Bob, you do have to share. ;-)
Everything is chemicals therefore if you are a fountain of chemical knowledge then you are a fountain of knowledge on everything.
Well, at least everything physical. I suppose the metaphysical would be a different story although some believe that it is not and that everything is actually chemical.
Whoa, that IS a screwed-up translation!
"estas" is the familiar second person singular form for "estar". So, "como estas" is the familar way of saying "how are you". Nuestro is the possesive, first person plural (masculine or mixed gender).
"...some believe that it is not and that everything is actually chemical."
Or it will be, at some future date...I prefer not to witness my own chemical changes, thanks...(or would that be "bio-degradable" changes...?)
I do share.
I'm practically a Darkshare.
"Our" as in "belonging to the RKBA" not as in the "Royal We" sense of the word... :-)
LOL
Nice dancing.
You do realize I've had to deal with aeronautical design, orbital mechanics, mathematics, languages, and who knows what else in order to maintain the fiction of my infallibility, don't you?
Oh, don't forget clothing design...
Oh, the memories...
No, of course not! :-)
And so it was, in the Newtonian world.
Unfortunately, in the days of Rutherford and others, even before Einstein, no one could explain, if the Earth was as old as the Geologists would have it, what chemical process fueled the Sun?
It was thinking about that problem that led to our investigation, and somewhat understanding, of Nuclear phenomena, (and the microminiscule world of quantum physics, -- thanks Albert!)
You've become an expert at embroidering PV on my uniforms.
