Funny, and more than faintly disturbing.
​
That you could engage good intentions with unfamiliar nomenclature and misleading language hardly seems like a science project (maybe political science, more tenuously psychology), nor does it demonstrate any gullibility other than the student's.
​
Perhaps he could have imbibed river water for a few months to show how alarmist environmentalists really are. Of course, if he had included the substances (heavy metals, PCBs, raw sewage, etc.) commonly found in our waterways, then the petition would in fact make sense.
​
I'm trying to recall a real world case where warnings about a pollutant turned out to be alarmist and based on junk science.
​
From there, I'd like to compare a list of authentic environmental toxins tolerated by law with alarmist, junk science ones...you know, just for laughs...

Creation Science!
Ahem.
​
As a rare, living ancestor, one who, in all humility, has demonstrated considerable survival capacity and fecundity, I would like to be the first to dedicate my body to this important new program (to have anyone else dedicating my body sounds vaguely alarming).
​
Howver, I would like to point out that in the interest of maximal ancestor diversity, the program should begin with a cross-breeding cohort of descendants (not mine, of course--ick!). Once Moorhead, MN, has rounded up a sufficient number of nubile...er, suitable, descendants, my time is their time.
​
In the name of this exciting new branch of creation science, no scarifice is too great, nor any labor too large.
​
Just because as we dig a little deeper, our notions change does not mean the discoveries are not useful.--randman

Re: Creation Science!
Please fill out this questionaire and we'll get back to you.
1. Do you reproduce sexually or asexually?
I am true to my roots.
​
2. Are you male, female or hermaphrodite?
I'm a fast learner.
​
3. Are you a pure-bred ancestor?
Yes--only breeding was involved, no other method.
​
4. Do you lay eggs?
In several manners of speaking, I have laid eggs.
​
4. Does ancestry run in your family?
Positively stampedes--Jones clan, doncha know.
​
5. Do you object against incest?
Only if all men are not brothers.
​
6. How about bestiality?
Your place or mine?
​
7. Strangle sex?
I have never strangled anything but desire, and I regretted it. I hope you will take my contrition into account.
​
8. How many times a day must you be fed?
With copious hydration, I can forgo feeding for extended periods.
​
9. Do you require a stable, a dark cave or underwater2 sleeping quarters?
The dark cave option sounds attractive, but it is not a strict requirement: a fur-lined Jungle Room should suffice. Please consider a spinning ceiling-basket--the Dolly Dervish brand is best.
​
10. How many legs do you have? 3
No, not 3, just two at the moment: I am not an extremist.
​
However, in case this is a trick question, I would like to point out that I do have a trick leg. Would you like to see it? If not, perhaps your avatar would?

Re: References
Ah, references. Yes, excellent. Well, just one question really, and then it should be in the bag: those eggs you mentioned, can they erm... sort of, attest that they erm... got laid by you?
​
Why, yes, of course: those eggs were changed, changed utterly. A terrible beauty was born (though the tax exemption helped ease the terror just a bit).

Re: Evaluation
2. Are you male, female or hermaphrodite?
female
​
Further info required: nubile? (If yes, notify Omivorous.)
​
Say n'more: if not nubile, she is clearly sassy--close enough for research work.
