I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This is freaky: DNA sample may be enough to build an image of your face
FORENSIC SCIENCE is about to take a startling new turn – reconstructing facial features and skin tone simply by reading your DNA. This goes far beyond doing an identity-proving genetic fingerprint, it means the person’s actual face will emerge after analysing a collection of genes, according to a scientist from Pennsylvania State University.
The process, “forensic molecular photofitting” relies on mapping genes that are linked to skin pigmentation and in its more complex form, to groups of genes that control facial structure, stated Dr Mark Shriver.
The approach has already been used to help identify and convict a serial killer in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Dr Shriver said over the weekend at a presentation to the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting in Chicago.

Speaking of other great memories of our youths, I was reading about Bill Clinton on Daily Kos and started wondering when he started being called Big Dog/Dawg. Presidential nicknames intrigue me. Reagan got The Gipper (holdover from the movies) and The Great Communicator, but I can't think of any other recent president to have a commonly recognized, ie, used in publications, nicknames--especially ones that can be used in front of puritanical aunts.
Yes, there's also Slick Willy, but the Other Side always comes up with something.

W., without the addenda, works, though I wonder if that's more as a differentiation between him and Dad.
And it makes my world tremble to realize that I have had occasion to say, "You know, George the Elder wasn't really so bad."

Yeah, I've been thinking that for years, so I've gotten used to the world tremble. At least he was sane....

Wrod. And could name nations of the world and had a fair shot at finding them on the map.
