Monkey business
Exercise: None unless you count the sweat I worked up making Chi's birthday cheesecake (Mint Chocolate topped with cherries).
During my lunch hour today I was sitting at my desk poking around various news sites on the internet. I guess scientists have now decoded the DNA of chimps. The report said that it produced a long list of DNA differences humans have with chimps but also hints to which ones might be the most crucial. I'm really interested to see where this will go even if it means the creationists and evolutionists being up in arms.
And now for something completely different.....
The looting going on in Louisiana. I'm sorta sickened by the video I have seen of people who are looting getting bitched at by the police. I don't condone stealing and under normal circumstances, something like that is a lousy thing to do, however, considering the state of where it is happening, I can't believe these people are actually being bitched at. They have no food, no clean drinking water, clean clothes, etc. and here the authorities, who should be spending their time looking for people that actually need help, are chasing them away. It's not like the stuff that is there is going to be salvageable or even there to count in the first place. Let the people who need it take it. From the reports that I have been hearing the majority of the ones left down there are those who were too poor or elderly to evacuate. That alone is enough for me to say, "Let them have the goods dammit! They need it more than the majority of the rest of us do."
Otay kiddies, time to get to bed.
Til next time....
