I downloaded an episode of The Universe to my XB360 just now and finished watching it. The episode talked about the strange things in the universe and one of them was about nebulas... made of alcohol. According to the female scientist, there's enough alcohol in the nebula for every person in the world every day for the next 10 billion years. Too bad we'd have to filter all the other chemicals out first or you'd have more than a hangover the next morning...

the female scientist

And what did the male scientist say?
She was clearly having feminine issues or something. Crazy women believe in faeries and stuff...

lol!
Sorry. It was just the fact that you made it clear that the scientist was female :)

Does this mean that the alcohol companies will now start funding the space program to get to this bounty of a treasure?

actually they will fund the research of turning jupiter into pure energy, so we can create a space time bubble where space moves faster than light, but everything on the inside remains stationary, because anything with mass, cannot travel FTL

And then they will arrive at the booze star and drink until they crap themselves... :(

why the sad face?

...Not taking me along with them!

Intergalactic hooch... what a marketing campaign that would be.
"Made from the best stuff in the universe...!"
"A beer of such potency and magnitude that it could only be forged in the icy cold depths of space."

Mm. I'll have a Jack and quasar, please.

Call me ensign and give me a space suit. I'm in, if for nothing else than the opportunity to drive the shuttle when the captain gets too juiced on space hooch.

So NASA will be funded by Jack Daniels and Anhauser-busch.

No wonder in Star Trek the Next Generation they came up with synthehol. Everyone was so drunk in Kirk's day from tanking up on those nebulae.

Anyone know the drinking age in space?

Don't let Bravo go up, he'll drink the fuel tanks dry!

you know that's the worst option, seeing as all ensigns wear red shirts?

Now, now, guys... You don't want to drink the stuff STRAIGHT OFF THE NEBULA! It's got other stuff that's gotta be taken out of it first, such as hydrogen chloride, carbon dioxide, and other stuff that'll give you more than just a hangover in the morning.

Good point. Maybe I'll settle for working in the galley. At least that's got the benefit of first dibs on the space booze.

Could you imagine the ad campaigns for celestial firewater?

"Aged 5 billion years for that smooth, mellow flavor"

"With our patented filtration system you can drink with confidence knowing you won't wake up with that radiation hangover that you get from our competitors nebula alcohol."

"Cometschlaeger, the only one with real comet flakes."

Well, depends on whether you're Classic Trek, the movies or Next Generation...

Star Stuff Nebula juice. Good for what ails you. With all the true minerals and star stuff needed for good health. Return to your roots as a child of the stars... Star Stuff Nebula juice.

The universe just got so much brighter and happier for me.

I guess nebulas are pretty bright and make you feel happy...

I hope we all get a chance to sample that alcohol before it all ends up transforming into new hot, burning stars...
