    What would we have done without DNA for the last 50 years?

    I mean there was no such thing as DNA 51 years ago! Shocking!

    ;).

    Yeah...but then they formed a union, wanted standard of living, sanitatory working conditions blah blah blah....then they went on strike. The whole thing was a mess.


    DNA is the stork mexican equivalent.

    Does it really look as funky as that under the microscope? I don't mean colours (duh :p). I remember a biology teacher of ours couldn't say Deoxyribonucleic Acid without stuttering over it for ages. I suppose it's kind of like astronomers with weird diseases that means they can't pronounce plane'arium properly :D

    Interesting stuff, plus they decoded the whole structure of human DNA within the 50 years of its discovery!

    Google is great for stuff like that. They missed St. Patrick's Day this year though. There was no special Googlogo for that :(

    Go Google Go!

    It is what it's.

    I like those googleisims, most of the time you don't notice them and then sometimes they catch your eye and let you know something interisting.

    I saw a programme about those guys if I remember. And where they studied (Cambridge or Oxford) they are seen in an unfavourable light. I can't remember why but it could be to do with plagiarism.
