I think an arguably better clip is this one:

Don't you hate it when people with penises treat women like human beings worthy of respect?

No.

What's really a shame is all the ignorance about genetically modified food, research like this that works towards ending world hunger will never make it to market because all the resistance against GMOs.

Sunshine. Started out as a promising SF thriller in the tradition of Silent Running, then took an abrupt nosedive into sub-Event Horizon / Freddy-Krueger-in-space bullshit, with an ending so saccharine it made Armageddon look like Solaris. Barf.

Fark is like the internet version of your old Catholic grandma who surprises the shit out of you when she buys you condoms.

If I lived somewhere with no birds, why would I want to leave such a paradise? ;)

OK here goes:

"Let's say there's a 1% chance of a transcription error every time a DNA base pair is copied. Then having lots of junk DNA would make it less likely that the error actually impacts us."

"I thought it was pretty well established that what these researchers are calling "junk" is more like promoter regions and stretches of DNA whose function we haven't yet discovered."

A few things:

You appear to think that scientists are the same as technicians. That is, people who are hired to solve a particular problem and either do it or don't. If they don't solve it to the satisfaction of their employers, they should be fired. The employers might want a particular political slant on the solution, which…

For a second there I thought I was looking at a Liefeld piece...

I've been talking about this — to no avail! — for years.

The difficulty comes when we try to define a "natural" and "unnatural" process? What, definitively, makes GMOs unnatural, or, why is the currently undefined "natural" way categorically the best/safest?

Yes, your watching a Hollywood movie makes you far more qualified to assess the situation than these biochemistry PhDs.

"For so long people have thought that DNA was the way it was because it had to be, that it was somehow the perfect molecule."

Dude, Jurassic Park aside, I don't think I've ever heard of any of the countless attenuated organisms adapting to survive outside the lab. It's inconceivably unlikely. Hell, even non-attenuated research strains of E. coli are so damned weak and finniky they're unlikely to survive in the most hospitable of wild…

Skeuomorphim fails because it assumes you know how to use other tools - just not the one you're currently using.

W-54 atomic fission warhead (a precursor to the warhead employed by the W61 tac nuke) capable of delivering between 10 to 250 kiloton yields
