What do you mean Adas? That WiN's style. He posts a litany of interesting articles for our reading pleasure.
I fail to see how he seems high or offensive. Did you read the article? I guess you could question the placement in energetics forum, but
monomethylhydrazine is energetic, and the fact that we can synthesize it in our bodies in pretty interesting to me, though maybe a tad whimsical.

Have you any idea how toxic and carcinogenic it can be? Probably not

it sounds like something James Bond would do, serve the baddie a dish with his special mushrooms on it, wait an hour then shoot him in the stomach and
blow up an entire room full of people.

I wasn't implying that synthesizing MMH in your body would not be at your detriment, Adas. And it is of course not a good means to procure MMH,
obviously. I was only pointing out that I found the fact that the toxic metabolite is energetic, and that is interesting IMO.
Besides, my post was more geared at expressing my opinion that you were derailing WiN's thread for no reason.
