[Kenny Bunk:] Yo Junior, we share 90% of our DNA with watermelons. So does that mean we must invite chimps to our 4th of July picnic?

[TheCrusader:] That chimps have a 99% similar DNA to humans means nothing to the origin of man, especially when you consider that cats have a 90% similar DNA to humans.

LOL! OK you two, your homework for tonite is to read post 149. There'll be a quiz on this in the morning. :-)

Wait a minute, here. My scientific mind has just clicked in.
If watermelons AND cats share 90% of our DNA, does this mean that government scientists could cross cats with watermelons?

Think of that! A fruity snack that treats you badly at the 4th of July picnic! It could change the world as we know it. But, my scientific colleagues, you have avoided my question about inviting the chimp to that 4th of July Picnic.

I maintain that if the chimp is a properly registered Democrat (and with Motor Voter there isn't a damn thing to prevent that), then he/she should be invited. But no long speeches.
