    I suppose I'd still rather live on Earth, dodging storms & risking extinction, than live on Venus, where I'd simply vaporize.

        @neiltyson you don't vaporize on Venus... Eyes and lungs would burst and you'd be overcooked like an oven.

        @neiltyson assuming you could survive, what kind of being would you be. I'm guessing some sort of extremaphile bacteria.
