If you took all the DNA in a human body and stretched it end to end it would reach 4 billion miles to Pluto.

You know, that is really interesting. I hated biology because of all of the memorization required in intro. But when I hear things like what you posted or when I hear the 13-year-cycle cicadas buzzing outside or when I think about the effects of the oil spill last year, I really wish I knew more about biology.

Actually as a professor, I could take biology classes for free.:scratch:

It's fractal geometry.

Check out National Geographic's documentary called "X-ray Earth".

Oh, fractals. Up my mathematical alley. I will check out your suggestion. Thanks!

Are the DNA chromosomes stacked end to end or side by side...Pluto is a long ways a way to get it wrong...
