From the inside of a Snapple cap comes a message that should be conveyed ASAP to the Technion Institute in Israel:
“Penguins have an organ above their eyes that converts sea water to fresh water.”
Here’s what to do, guys: Round up some penguin volunteers (maybe by promising them some warm weather, for a change?), and extract a few ounces of that “converter” stuff from their “organs.” See what it’s made of; try to synthesize it in the lab. And when you do indeed duplicate the penguins’ trick of converting sea water to fresh water, be sure to thank me.
There you have it. No charge. You’re welcome.
