angelusfan3, you mentioned your interest in genetics, I'm fascinated by DNA technology. I saw this episode of Discovery Channel a few years ago called ''The Seven Daughter's of Eve'' it was all about Mitochondrial DNA and how all human beings fall into seven distinct genetic groups. The theory being that we have seven ''Eve's'' all out of Africa. There is this project going on where you can pay to have your DNA tested to see which genetic ancestral group you're from. Have you ever heard of that? There was a companion book to the show as well.

It's pretty cool, Mitonchondrial DNA can only be traced through the maternal line, it's not specific enough of a testing tool in criminal cases, but it can be traced back through thousands of years. They have extracted this type of DNA from well preserved bodies like from bogs or ice. In those cases there is enough DNA to test in the bone marrow.

Hey! Stop being all science-nerdy in my poll, we should be discussing hot chicks named Vanessa. ;D

What, no discussion of hot guys? I want to discuss hot guys not girls.
Actually I loved the DNA discussion, we can learn so much from each other. Who needs to go to school? Too bad I can't get college credit for reading these forums.

Sweetie, you can talk about anything you want to. Maybe a Graduate Course in Post-Modern Smartassism? The Ultimate Cynicism Machine, I can already see the t-shirt.

my school has the internet but i dont use it because its slow and crappy. the losers always sit around in the libary and download games every lunch time and play em and they always stand around and watch each other play their little emulators or what ever. i think its boring.
