(Of course since I'm the only one who's signed it, you're best off being paranoid. But how many people would *you* like to have read your mail to me ? Use this key and at least it's limited somewhat.)

Some things I'm interested in:

Photosynthesis is only about 10% efficient WRT intercepted light... Are there any plants which generate compounds which, when exposed to UV light, fluoresce at wavelengths usable by chlorophyll ? Some Cnidaria either have symbiotic algae which appear to, or produce a flourescent pigment for their own protection from UV.
Some cnidaria have fluorescent pigments, what are they used for ?
Chlorophyll, Cyanocobalamin, and the Heme family all share similar structure. What other compounds have this structure ?
Earthquakes in the pacific northwest.
Look at what I ran into 7800 ft. below sea level somewhere south-west of the Azores. Commonly called a 'Dumbo Octopus', it's probably a Grimpoteuthis.

Lynx:
I used to torture these people back when they were too paranoid to connect to the internet. I think they need a web version of Civil.
Here's a link to a friend who has a link to me. For fun, see how many time you can go around the loop before your browser crashes.
Here's where to find a voyage to the bottom of the sea.
