    Scientists Debate Magical DNA Teleportation

    I really don't want to sound pretentious, but as someone who works with DNA I find it extremely difficult to believe that DNA was replicated using water as a template. It raises a lot of questions that I'm sure will come up in peer review. I could be mistaken, but it appears that this has been...

    Name that cat

It was Kind...

    What are some of your peculiar turn-offs?

    I have a lot of turn-offs. Not all of them are straight up deal breakers, but some I just can't take. Oddly enough, some I can tolerate from some girls, but not others. Cigarette smoking - I respect your right to choose and will not think less of you as a person, but your scent and flavor...
