Eli is a bit burnt out
Things have been frantic the last few weeks at Rabett Labs, and Eli is a bit frazzled. Don't look for anything until Monday. A happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the US.

Eli meant to behave but there were way too many options.

Eli Rabett
Eli Rabett, a not quite failed professorial techno-bunny who finally handed in the keys and retired from his wanna be research university. The students continue to be naive but great people and the administrators continue to vary day-to-day between homicidal and delusional without Eli's help. Eli notices from recent political developments that this behavior is not limited to administrators. His colleagues retain their curious inability to see the holes that they dig for themselves. Prof. Rabett is thankful that they, or at least some of them occasionally heeded his pointing out the implications of the various enthusiasms that rattle around the department and school. Ms. Rabett is thankful that Prof. Rabett occasionally heeds her pointing out that he is nuts.

Hey, I didn't mean to suggest _you_ were a stuffed rabbit (grin).
Here's an oddball thought for the holidays. Any chance we're injecting methane-eating bacteria into underground petroleum reserves by drilling wells? It'd be unfortunate if the petroleum industry started getting CO2 instead of natural gas out of the ground, after a few microbes got into the strata. Just a thought.
I noticed this in a ScienceExpress newsbit today:
"It is the hardiest “methanotrophic” bacterium yet discovered, which makes it a likely candidate for use in reducing methane gas emissions from landfills, mines, industrial wastes, geothermal power plants and other sources.
“This is a really tough methane-consuming organism that lives in a much more acidic environment than any we’ve seen before,” said Dunfield, who is the lead author of the paper. “It belongs to a rather mysterious family of bacteria (called Verrucomicrobia) ....”
Methanotrophic bacteria consume methane as their only source of energy and convert it to carbon dioxide during their digestive process.....
