  Actually these three are probably something Dave McGuire
could actually do. While the rest of us have watches and
clocks, I heard through the grapevine he has his own fully

  Wouldn't it be wild to transmit messages to one's distant
offspring by encoding them onto DNA. But I'm sure we shouldn't
try it, because it would probably have unforseen disastrous effects.
