013 - DNA - with Links!

1. Atheist's Nightmare?
Skip to 3:30 when Kirk Cameron tries to prove that god exists by eating a banana. Viewers should be aware that the modern banana is a result of centuries of genetic manipulation via selective planting and cross-breeding. So in essence, the banana is an entirely man-made fruit. Another argument against Kirk Cameron: Coconut.

More genetic manipulation, although much less beneficial to mankind than the banana. Illegal in California.

3. Custom Genetic Art
DNA11 is a company that severely over-charges to make abstract artwork based on its customer's individual genetic makeup. But really, how would you know?

A short, animated, educational film on Gregor Mendel, genetics, and heavy breathing.

5. DNA Explorer Kit
After all this talk about genetics, you're probably ready to start monkeying around with your own DNA. Do it safely with this kit from the Discovery Store

i can think of another thing that fits perfectly into one's hand and curves up towards one's mouth...a small cactus.
it doesn't say anywhere in the bible that we can't eat cacti!

did you read the customer comments about the DNA kit? some guy claims he used it for a paternity test. that toy has to be cheaper than a test at the local genetics lab, but it seems like a task best left to professionals...
