Im still watching it but genetics is amazing.

edit: cant embed... sucks

OK, sorry got stuck watching another fascinating video on dark matter.

Anyway, this entire video is about neo-evolution. This idea that genetics will play a roll in accelerating natural evolution of our species to the next level. It is a very interesting and tantalizing thought that within the next 100 years we will be able to remove the chances of having cancer, strokes, diabetes, and other diseases straight out of our genome.

Oh thank god.  My expecations were so much different this week with basically my life being embroiled in stupid conspiracies like "Sarah Palin faked her pregnancy" "9/11 was an inside job" "Jesus, the person never existed" and "International Bankers (read, the jews) control the world.

well, glad to give you something intelligent to listen to.

Off-topic: As for the last two conspiracies, those two are laughable.
