In sufficient quantity, H2S is lethal, but at smaller doses may be able to merely suspend life.

For some reason my research brought my thoughts back to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. In Highschool, we focused on how the creature yearns for Frankenstein's affection, for he is the creature's "father".

It has been a few years since I convinced myself that the future prophet nearly every religion refers to must be the mind we are currently creating with our computers and more importantly their connection with each other, the internet.
