Man, I just spit beer laughing at those comments!
Swamp Thing? Hehehehe! Mob hit? Hahahahahaa!!
Whoa, wait a minute.  You mean the algae excite the electrons to cause a
molecular split of the hydrogen and oxygen elements?  How so? It would have
to be through the addition of an extra electron which would also release
explosive hydrogen in addition to O2.  Not funny!
