I just opened my window. [Due to the temparature at my desk exceeding
I noticed a thin layer of green slime on the PVC windowsil.
There's a small puddle of water there, and presumably an abundance of
light, and this powers simple photosynthetic organisms. Algae, I would
think. [Heaven only knows where it gets nutrients from...]
I wonder... would it be safe to eat this stuff? Is it nutritious? Mmm,
interesting...

Ummm if in doubt, no. To put it another way think of the conversation at
the hospital...
"So sir, you seem to have a mild case of food poisoning. Can you think of
something you've eaten recently that could have caused that?"
"I'm not sure. There was this green slime that had formed outside my
window at work; I did had a quick taste of that"

Hmm, yes...
[According to the Royal Institute Christmas Lectures, males are
statistically more prone to risk-taking behaviour than females. Or, as
the lecturer put it, "we're more stupid"...]

Well, it's fresh rainwater. :-P And I was thinking more about the algae
growing in it...
Still, I would think it wouldn't feed you for very long.

Actually no. No matter what PC advocates want to claim, there are
differences (in average) between the male and female way of thinking.
Males are (again, in average) risk-takers while females aren't. Males
present much more often extreme behavior than females. For example the
majority of scientifical geniuses are male, as well as the majority of
serial killers. Males are usually the ones who take big risks eg. in
business, while females usually don't. (And no, individual counter-examples
do not nullify the average.)
It has nothing to do with stupidity.

And you didn't try to smear it at your body?
Would have been interesting when the algae would have shown an interest in
symbiosis.

living green chemistry :)

I've never heard that one. I'll have to use it next time someone feeds me the
curisoity line.
