Did you know...

Canada's always been the world's best at hockey, right?

Say WHAT?

 

[DeviousDVO]

I picked up a useful little piece of information the other day - to avoid getting headaches and straining your eyes while on the computer or watching TV do this : every 20 minutes look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds . It's a pain in the ass but it works

 

[Magrathean]

Eh... i use coke and Tylenol for headaches.

 

[Malaclypse]

did you know that ethidium bromide can cause serious mutations, because it aligns between your DNA and stretches the double helix so that it will eventually break apart from strain and form new, possibly dangerous, combinations?

 

[Magrathean]

I read something similar about ethidium a few days ago.

 

[Malaclypse]

jeez, everyone seems to study the same shit these days

 

[Magrathean]

Did you know that DNA can adopt several different conformations (molecular structures), including the standard B-type helix, a wider and shorter A-type helix, and a narrower and longer Z-type helix which goes around the opposite way as the A- and B-types?

 

[Malaclypse]

yeah, actually i did

did you know that if you want to sequence DNA data, you likely use the so-called "shotgun"-algorithm?

 

[Magrathean]

Yes, because it can sequence large DNA fragments and even entire genomes in a short time.

Did you know that, after Southern blotting was developed by Mr. Southern, so-called Northern blotting and Western blotting were developed by other people and the names were chosen as mockery?

 

[Malaclypse]

yeah, and in each test they will ask you to explain eastern blotting as well, which is of course a fake question.

did you know that alcohol is such a popular drug because it can pass the brain blood border (roughly translated) and dock with four different kinds of receptors?

 

[Magrathean]

That i didn't know.

Did you know that inosine is an uncommon nucleotide analogous to guanosine?

 

[La Rocque]

DYK we exist -

 

[Magrathean]

I didn't, La Rocque. Thanks for your oh-so-enlightening remark. I feel so much wiser now. :Spin:

 

[La Rocque]

DYK the universe has no center or no edge -

 

[Magrathean]

Stuff to think about.

 

[GONE Ridin' Hood]

yeah, and in each test they will ask you to explain eastern blotting as well, which is of course a fake question.

I didn't know so specifically, but it seems kinda obvious

 

[RampageSword]

DYK that there is a typo in your sig, Lil'Bloodred? It should read "Aimless time, in fear now hide..."

 

[BastardSonOfGod]

Is impossible to suck your own elbow... Believe me... I tried

 

[Magrathean]

I bet contortionists can.

 

[BastardSonOfGod]

Hahahahaha maybe... another one

The sound that the ducks make (cuac!) does not produce echo and nobody knows why...

Cuak!
