Zanny Negro Puffer

Tetraodon nigroviridus - A genome of 385MB

Mesays:

Hilarious. I'm gonna blog your 385 MB puffer

She says:

it's adorable ay??

Mesays:

Did you say NEGRO virus?

She says:

no no no.....tt's considered racist in some cultures

Mesays:

It is ok. we are chinese. We can call anyone a negro

She says:

She says:

too tiring to pronouce

She says:

Mesays:

Oooh. you like niggers eh?

She says:

Mesays:

She says:

they're good and they can like....play basketball and stuff

Mesays:

ARGHTTT! ARGHTT!

She says:

so molonic

Mesays:

so why is it 385 MB?

She says:

that's the size of it's genome....so that's 385 megabase pairs

Mesays:

ooch. me thinking MegaBITES.

I must say that the picture of the puffer fish is 'qute' in a molonic way

She says:

10% of the human genome size, yet retains functions essential for life and development

Mesays:

ARGHT! ARGHT!

She says:

no wait.... 3 mega = 3 million....human genome=3 billion = .....

She says:

*headahce*

Mesays:

that would explain all the obese americans. they've got too many genomes. need to lose some

She says:

yeah, they should all play basketball

I do enjoy the occasional idiotic conversation with friends. Dear Gestaporic Blog Nazis, please do not arrest me for Sedition, after all, Afro-Americans do not constitute a racial group in Singapore. Thank You very much!

Yah, dats me I guess. Politcally incorrect. I do so apologize if this particular entry offends the sensibility of anyone out there. Like I says, it was a snippet of a conversation where the focus was really on the puffer fish :)
