True, but it was 3% easier to read and took 3% less time as well!

Does GERN come in a gaseous form? If so, what is it used for?

Why not - I love surprises. hock: Truthfully, I think it's a fair question, as no GERN liquid gas tankers or other forms of gaseous transport have thus far been shown, and obviously it's extraction in gaseous form would require entirely different physical plants from what have been displayed here. 8-)

GERN chemists developed a gaseous form of flux specifically for the airship trade, and while it was 3% lighter than hydrogen, the Zeppelin Corporation resisted both the higher cost and the fact that GERN would have control of production. Well, we all know of the events at Lakehurst NJ, which pretty-well put an end to that market. Cookie Gibson's executive airship made good use of the product though, especially on his record-breaking around-the-world flight involving a number of young ladies from the Company's steno pool, in the early '30s.
NASA has expressed some interest in its use for the so-called "space elevator", as it would eliminate the need for the tether cable, so there may yet be a market for this exciting product. Wayne

I've been wondering if there is any truth to the rumor that my daughter told me about this afternoon as we watched our team lose a football game and ate some of her absolutely delicious home made chili (I had two bowls.)
She told me that she had heard that the scientists and chemical engineers at GERN had been working on a new gas-related product ... ... one that would reduce flatulance by 3%.

I believe they did, but for whatever reason decided to sell off that line of business. It's currently sold under the trade name of Beano.
