All of your genetic code is contained within the nucleus of each cell, with plenty of extra space. Yet, if you could unravel all of the chromosomes and place them end-to-end, it would be as long as your outstretched arms.

Name an Amazing or Unexpected Fact
by Simon ini saw this on twitter the other day and it blew my mind.. tyrannosaurus is closer to us than to stegosaurus.
that is, when tyrannosaurus lived, stegosaurus were already fossilized and those fossils were older than tyrannosaurus fossils are today to us, by a good 20 million years!.
in a similar vein, the star wars prequel movies are now older than the original star wars movies were when those prequels were released.. how about that we're closer in time to cleopatra than she was to the pyramids being built.. what 'ya got?.

by Terry ina question: "what does identity mean?
" if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck have feathers like a duck: it is a __?___.
hans christian anderson taught us this lesson in the famous story of "the ugly duckling" (**spoiler alert**) the ugly part of the duckling was misleading to observers who later discover it is a swan.

Mozart wrote a canon in B-flat around 1782, meant to be sung by 6 voices. You can listen to it below.
The title is “Leck mich im Arsch”. We often think of Mozart, and other classical composers, as writing very formal pieces. The title of this work literally translates “Lick me in the ass”. But it probably more accurate to translate it as “Kiss my ass!”
He wrote a couple other dirty songs too.

Did Jesus pick his nose? Do you really think he walked around for years in that dry desert heat without cleaning house?

Do You Think “Normal” Is Ever Going To Happen Again?
by minimus insince covid, our lives have all been affected.
do you think people will ever get back to normal, pre-covid?
are masks, vaccinations and social distancing the “new normal “?.

More responses like this are needed:
I would hope that it would eventually change from “that’s the whole point of a vaccine” to “shut the fork up”.

Would You Ever Go Back To The Witnesses??
by minimus inevery once in a while you hear people say they actually “miss” their old witness friends and or family.
some would have even stayed in the organization if they became a bit more liberal and open minded.

Colorado Mass Shooting
by Simon interrible news out of colorado this morning of a mass shooting in a supermarket leaving 10 dead.. missing from the homepage of cnn is any description of the shooter.
that's because it's a muslim refugee from syria who was apparently anti-trump and not a "maga white guy" which would otherwise be included in every headline.. more kids in cages than ever before (but strangely, now no one in the media seems to care) and now this.. biden doesn't have the magic wand he promised after all, right?.

The dispute arises because advocates of gun control have appropriated term "assault weapon" as a definition of convenience to suit their agenda.
Exactly. As with “climate change” and “racism”. Even important words like “justice” and “rights” are appropriated to further an agenda.

i will not be attending.
what are your thoughts on posting these codes so activists can join tonight and maybe say something?

Don’t they lock the meeting down so that only delegated speakers can be heard?

Are You Afraid You Might Do Something or Say Something That Is Considered Politically Incorrect?
by minimus ini was just reading how a guy on the net was saying he was attracted to some black women like halle berry but serena or gayle king not at all.
he was expressing his opinion.
anyway, he quickly got fired and he profusely apologized for what he said and has asked for help from the naacp and the mayor’s office to learn to do better.

Part of the redefinition of “racism”.
Is it racist to prefer a mate of the same race? No. It simply is not.
