Comment on Why science is cool by Peter

A surprising contingent “believes” (cuz everything is essentially a belief in their universe), that life would be better off without modern electricity, medicine, and agriculture. We live in a world where % 0.001 of the population has enabled the rest to exist utterly mindlessly of how it all works. So mindlessly, that they have no idea of what it would be like without the benefits of modernity. Well, they wouldn’t exist without it, would they? The big problem is this ignorant post-modern majority determines policy. They legitimize obscene things like homeopathy. The list is endless. Basic science awareness is almost none existent. I’ll stop now.

When you talk about grey stuff, you don’t mean ‘grey cells’, do you?

Ah, maybe this is why they don’t serve alphabetti spaghetti in research cantines. Oh, how I’ve begged.

“Look, if we made this mutation we might lose enzyme activity!”….. “Hey, what are doing? Did you just monoubiqutinate my spaghettizyme?”

“Yeah, subtle hint that might want to degrade your dinner your stomach?”

“Ah, no, you’ve joined it to the wrong residue, better if you moved it here….”

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”

Steve. You’re sure they won’t sue you later in life for “turning us into geeks at a young age” ??? (TBH, I laughed at the cheer genius of it all. Children are truly wonderful with comments and ideas!)

How’s this for geeky?

The anti-sense for Fasta Pasta is what my own kids coined “DNA Pasta” (Those nice helical coiled pastas–known by the Italians, I believe, as Rotini Pasta)

HAHA I almost shuddered a little thinking about all those files I created a few years back…. I’m such a geek.

I’m proud to say I forgot what FASTA was and actually had to think really hard for about 20 seconds about why the text underneath the photo was so weird.
