MILLER-UREY KITCHEN SCIENCE

I found an old jar of kidney beans in the far corner of the fridge. It was draped in a strange milky webbing. It looked positively primordial! I bet if I got a couple electrodes and hooked them up to a battery - in lieu of lightening - I could create some organic compounds. And these amino acids might form chromosomes and they would make proteins. And then later, much later, if they got too supercilious, you know questioning my authority, I'd simply remind them how they sprung from spoiled kidney beans.
