And so it starts

And so here goes another try. I’m pretty sure that this one won’t get abandoned after the first post like my last several attempts, however. Just a hunch though. And I’m not promising anything, since all the promised goals I set for myself never work out anyhow.

Just two quick blurbs, like my title implies, as I wait for my laundry to finish and watch the clock tick on towards my dreaded midnight mark (or else I get less than seven hours).

The weekend had a couple interesting articles pop up. First off, props to the progress of science. Scientists have found that inorganic dust, when in the state of plasma and held in zero gravity, forms the helix structures found in DNA.

I wish it was a little bit more detailed, but the results are nonetheless thrilling. I find that its one of the most exciting finds to date in science–that perhaps we are on the verge of discovering the origins of life.

But of course, on the flip side, I would believe that this might disappoint some people. Life has always been a complex mystery, and it does lose some of its luster if we can be categorized something along the lines of organic computers.

I do believe that’s why so many turn to religion, however.

Heading off in another direction (no worries, my thoughts on religion will most definitely show up in the future), I must give props to the conquerer Genghis Khan. The stud managed to get enough offspring that one out of every two-hundred are now related to him.   In central Asia alone, more than sixteen-million have his Y chromosome. Stories also say that the guy died while having sex too.

Unfortunately, this news also means I will have a much lower success rate with my pick-up lines asking, “Do you have any Asian in you?” Oh well, I guess I’ll find a replacement soon enough.

And now I’m off, and I might just somehow meet my midnight self-imposed curfew, which I have never followed before.
