Show of hands-
who didn't know what a Chimera was?

I do, cause I looked it up. :)

-A fire-breathing she-monster in Greek mythology having a lion's head, a goat's body, and a serpent's tail.

I was recently visiting a major scientific institution in Tokyo. While meeting with some of the high level mucky mucks one of them began discussing C02 measurements. I remarked that C02 wasn't the primary greenhouse gas.

He smiled at me and winked and said: "Ah, true, but what is important is that we get more funding HA HA Ha !!".

Good grief

"A further fear is that extra human emissions …"

A chimera is an amalgam.

The black fluid from the X-Files TV show was a chimera. It exhibited both plant and animal attributes.

I think the author intended definition # 2:
"...an illusion or fabrication of the mind...";
as opposed to the fire breathing she-monster.

[exDemMom]

If everyone who is so hysterical about greenhouse emissions would just calm down, relax, and breathe slowly, they would go a long way towards reducing CO2 emissions. Because all of their frantic hyperventilating over the issue is almost certainly a significant source of CO2.

Not to mention Political Conventions.

BTTT!!!!!!

If we defeat Kerry, the problem of excess gas will go away
along with global warming.

Seems to me I remember that from somewhere...:-)

Now, don't let Bellerophon kill me, please...

[MaryFromMichigan]

Great.

Now I had to look up "Bellerophon".

(Don't let MENSA in on this. Imagine my embarrassment.)

[CPOSharky]

But what about dihydrogen monoxide?

[farmfriend]

But what about dihydrogen monoxide?

Should be banned. It's used in the manufacture of pesticides and is now in all our rivers and streams. It can kill you! :)
