In the Spring of 1996, we attended the annual Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in Houston, TX. One of the lonstanding traditions there is a barbecue and chili cookoff to feed and entertain the masses. This was our entry that year, winning us the prize for "best presentation!"

We emphasize that this is all real data. No animals or lab equipment were harmed making this poster.
