Saying anything in particular makes you open to fact-based criticism — I mean, it is object-level and bad, instead of meta-level and good.

Algae are tiny microns-wide solar-powered fully self-replicating factories that run on general assemblers, "ribosomes", that can replicate most other products of biology given digital instructions.

Ribosomes ... make proteins.

  • Jackin' at the speed of light (sung to the tune of Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now")
  • Yippie ki yay, Mister Falcon
