There is a professional conversation happening in my office as I sit here reading your blog, and I am shaking with laughter trying not to explode!<br /><br />The geneticist named Gene was the first thing I noticed, too, which was the first laugh I had to stifle. <br /><br />Did you think maybe Gene the geneticist was being tweaked? Or maybe hoping to be tweaked? Just a thought.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06870283055927616591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114132119792854667.post-52211725860305754782012-04-05T22:21:02.006+09:302012-04-05T22:21:02.006+09:30Fun fact: I had a friend who kept bees because he ...Fun fact: I had a friend who kept bees because he wanted his own honey. He had no idea what he was doing, and when he took me to see them (I was standing 10 feet away, mind you), they swarmed and madly attacked us. It was the first time I've ever been stung by bees, and I was pleasantly surprised, by not dying, to find out I'm not allergic.<br /><br />A few weeks after they migrated from his homemade comb, took over his neighbor's backyard, and the rest of his colony died.<br /><br />I cannot stress enough that he had no idea what he was doing.A Beer for the Showerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029139745335325356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114132119792854667.post-24912701959113094842012-04-03T08:37:12.813+09:302012-04-03T08:37:12.813+09:30Yeah that's true, the bee population is disapp...Yeah that's true, the bee population is disappearing.
