I don't suppose anyone knows what aDNA is, by any chance? I know mtDNA, but this 'a' thing is a new one on me.
Fascinating. [link]
Ancient/Archeological DNA. Think the mosquito in Jurassic Park.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

Ugh. The sandwich I had for lunch is not sitting well with me. I wish I'd gotten something else.

For 24 fans.... Over the weekend, I was in line at the service counter at my nearby Gelson's, and President Logan and his wife got in line behind me.
I only said "Mr. President," and nodded to him as I passed him on the way out, and he gave a little snicker.

I recommend most always pretending you're not a panda.
Given what Homer Simpson found out when he was pretending to be a panda, this is sound advice.
