Syanide Is How You Kill People
The best arting material to build all of the molecules of life turns out to be syanide. You can capture syanide iron in solution to make a very safe, non toxic compound called pharosyanide. In certain kinds of lakes, par syanide can accumulate overtime,. so that so thet iron comes up from the ground, water and a syanide comes from the atmosphere. They combine in these perhaps shallow lakes or ponds, whatever. Some salts of cyanide can precipitate out and build up as a kind of sediment. But you have a huge reservoir of concentrated Syanide.
