Much to my chagrin, I humbly stand corrected on my prior statement concerning the relative weights of air and carbon monoxide (CO)! CO is lighter than air, ie rises. (Pets everywhere can breathe a collective sigh of relief) ... CO is a by-product of incomplete combustion, however, carbon dioxide (CO2) is also a by-product ... and CO2 is heavier than air (Pets everywhere pay attention now). And unless you're a plant or alien, breathing too much CO2 is definitely not a healthy thing to do. Egg wiping complete, face still a bit sticky... Ken Hartz [text/html]
