		<description><![CDATA[Night followed day in swift succession. On earth at that time a day lasted for only five or six hours. The planet spun madly on its axis.

		<description><![CDATA[Mitochondria are a silly place to store genes.  They are often glibly called the powerhouses of  the cell, but the parallel is quite exact.  Mitochondrial membranes generate an electric charge, operating across a few millionths of a millimetre, with the same voltage as a bolt of lightning, a thousand times more powerful than domestic writing.  [...]]]></description>
