well, if you're curious, I would just like to have a shopping list
to take to a human-being-retail-shop and get all the ingredients
myself, rather than just getting one out-of-the-box. I'm a bit of
a do-it-yourself handyman, you see ? but to be sure, I would love
to see all these ingredients together and then imagine a scientist
trying to puzzle and mix everything together, a bit like what we're
trying to do with DNA sequences, these days. You think you can
help me getting this list a bit more accurate ? I'm not a chemist or
biologist, perhaps you are ?
