It's actually funny, but does derive some useful theories.

I saw this earlier today, by coincidence.

You couldn't very well have trading on the New York market and expect Mars to be part of that action. For one thing, there is the time lag. Before any market trading can take place, there would have to be instantaneous communications technology. It'a hard enough for me to deal with the Asian markets living in Michigan, as I do.

Unless of course, the sex is SO alien that it somehow prevents you from harm at fusion temperatures. Now that's some awesome sex right there.
