Re: 2906: "Earth"
The text also says "We know, Carl." If there was just the narrator and Carl onboard wouldn't it be more correct for the narrator to say "I know, Carl."

Re: 2872: "Hydrothermal Vents"
I have to say that I was a little creeped out by "Santas being digested" coming out on Christmas morning. And I have a very very dark sense of humour, which may be tempered by exposure to my newest teeny tiny cousins.
