You know what a lima bean does when it's attacked by spider mites? It releases this volatile chemical that goes out into the world and summons another species of mite that comes in and attacks the spider mite, defending the lima bean. So what plants have - while we have consciousness, toolmaking, language, they have biochemistry.

Wissen Sie, was eine Limabohne macht, wenn sie von Spinnmilben angegriffen wird? Es setzt diese flüchtige Chemikalie frei, die in die Welt hinausgeht und eine andere Milbenart heraufbeschwört, die die Spinnmilbe angreift und die Limabohne verteidigt. Also, was Pflanzen haben - während wir Bewusstsein, Werkzeugbau und Sprache haben, haben sie Biochemie.

There's no idea or concept in comedy you could do that hasn't been attacked from some angle. But if you start leaving punchlines out so you'll look cool, I don't get that. But I don't watch standup anyway, so I don't know what they're doing.

Defaulting on the nation's debt would be cataclysmic. The U.S. Treasury's Aaa rating is the one constant in the world's financial system. When times are bad anywhere on the planet, global investors flock to Treasury bonds because they know they will get their money back.
