    making your own stock

    I attempted to make pork stock once and got a delicious concoction which I immediately used to make a pea soup. All was well until the soup cooled. At that point it turned into the most hideous thing I have ever cooked. Basically it was pea jelly. It makes me heave just to think about it.

    Oceans, alleged ancients, on Mars.

    well there isnt an alternate hypothesis forum. And hypothesis vs theory is a matter of semantics for the average person. It's a bit nit-picky for us to start addressing that issue at this stage.

    Oceans, alleged ancients, on Mars.

    certainly it's hot in human terms. But it's only just hot enough to melt iron, for instance, like earth's core is. The result is that earth's core is primarily liquid iron, giving rise to a magnetic field, whereas Mars's core is squishy but not liquid. remember that there's also lots of...

    Oceans, alleged ancients, on Mars.

    DB i think you have a point. Things have been fairly heated recently in this type of thread. Let's be nice :) Personally i think the OP is outrageously unscientific and frankly laughable... but eanassir has never called me a bad name :)
