Molecular Oxygen certainly is a novel discovery.

Now, the discovery of the comments on this article underneath it... sheesh....

Fox comments are always like diving into a vat of stupidity.

I'm not that familiar with Fox News, I just remember they said Paris was covered by Muslim "No-go zones" or some other grade-A BS.
