The pufferfish genome is very close to the human genome, except there isn't all this "junk DNA" in between the genes of the pufferfish, so this is pretty exciting (at least for a biogeek like me:)) Puff, the Magic Genome |

"ENZYMES, amino acids and genes are not normally in the computer geek's vernacular. But that could all change with the start of the next revolution in computer hardware and software - which some scientists say could be a biological one. The aim is to produce self-managing, self-repairing computers that become smarter by continually evolving their own intelligence centres. They could even end up smarter than their designers."

Check out the new collection, now available for next year! "For longer than most can remember, motivational speakers, authors and publishers have inspired and delighted us by championing the idea that within each person exists virtually unlimited potential. At Despair, Inc., we agree wholeheartedly- and helping others to unleash their hidden potentials remains our singular obsession. Think about it- what hidden potentials exist within YOU? Perhaps you're a wholly reasonable person, with the potential to become an irrational fool? Perhaps you're a team player, with a potentially argumentative loner lurking about inside you? Or perhaps you're a dreamer, within whom lives a potentially disillusioned grouse, simply waiting to take flight on the wings of bitterness? For the first time, one company has stepped forth with tools for unleashing such hidden potentials. No matter who you are, you have the potential to be so very much less. And with the transformative powers of our Demotivators® products, you will be. "Whether you're a pessimist, underachiever or a chronic failure, I personally offer my unconditional* guarantee that Demotivators will truly inspire you to new lows!" the 2002 demotivators® collection |
