Thanks, leave it to a cruddy keyboard to mess with an otherwise flawless sub. :P Go to Comment

You misunderstood, I wasn't implying the fungus was the cause behind the disease, but the dampness possibly causing an outbreak.
(Legionella transmission is via aerosols — the inhalation of mist droplets containing the bacteria. ) I'll work on the phrasing to make that clearer.

I hadn't noticed that list before, thanks for the link. :) I feel this list works better as a companion rather than addition however, given it focuses specifically on problems/situations involving the duct work of starships.

(Much faster/easier to scan a specialized list if you're looking for an encounter involving the crawl spaces then have to read through 100+ spaceship problems to find them all.) Go to Comment

Update: Slightly reworded problem #5 for better clarity. Go to Comment

Ha! That was a cute read. I agree with the others. Very fun, Sil.

I can't help myself, but I'd have welcome a more extensive sub, with more misconceptions aliens could have about us. Luckily, it is a scroll.

Well written. A solid fiction post.

Heh - we could get in a lot of trouble if aliens were to judge humanity by it's porn...

Fun idea Echo, I could have expanded upon it, but I felt the humor over misconceptions would wear thin rather quickly. If anyone feels like continuing with the theme, by all means, go for it. :) Go to Comment

Aye, that they are, very perceptive Mystic. ;) Go to Comment

An interesting concept, and well-written. Two sides of the same coin - is it porno or gourmet?

That looks like a good read. I will have to check it out. Go to Comment

Definitely entertaining. Am I reading too much into this or are the aliens unintentionally using double entendre?
