I think there is a symbiotic connection between
humans and alcohol yeast. Cheers!

Do you find it as ironically funny as I do, that humans
seem to mirror alcohol yeasts, albeit about 5 'powers of 10' larger?
After
all, give a population of humans a few resources, and they'll breed like mad,
fight any competitors (whilst justifying it with any number of noble reasons
other than 'resource competition' -- we're fighting for peace and freedom, not
oil!), pollute their environment willy-nilly, and have a tendency to implode
under social pressures such as a runaway crime rate, mass hysteria, and so
forth.
Now, my question to you is, after we humans extinguish
ourselves, who or what gets to enjoy the mead?

This is kind of cross topic, but is seems relevant. I brew honey
wine, otherwise known as mead, and I use a yeast (Saccharomyces baynus) to
produce the alcohol. This yeast is very territorial, and reproduces like
wild fire. In doing so it consumes its food supply and eventually becomes
unable to sustain itself, but not due to a lack of food. Rather, it dies of
alcohol poisoning – its own waste.
