Great 'Hitchhiker's' reference, poster.. if that was your intention.

I can't say it wasn't, 42 is a highly unlikely random number. Exams today, so long and thanks for all the fish.

Thanks for the great caption for this story. One of many times I've laughed out loud at the captions. I love the captions here. I love EVERYTHING on fark.

Sure 42.

But what was the question?

Does this mean that in a few years we can create Rumsfeld's army of psychotic soldiers that are military geniuses, only hear his voice, don't need sleep, and have a natural unquenchable bloodlust?

I'd comment on this except I have a reservation at the Restaurant at the End of the Universe and must depart. I'll make good time, though, because I've got this great new black spaceship... used to belong to a warlord or something...

Unfortunately I just downed a pan-galactic gargleblaster, so my genomes will have to be remapped.

The answer is actually 84.

The poster clearly forgot that there are two helicies in an DNA strand, therefore the answer should by multiplied by 2.

Hey moderator: Why don't you add voting to this posting so we can see who came up with the most outrageous Douglas Adams reference without bothering to go to the posted link?

Well, since all the good lines have already been taken, I will use this opportunity to recite to you the lasted Vogon poetry I have written.


Oh freddled gruntbuggly thy micturations are to me
As plurdled gabbleblotchits on a lurgid bee.
Groop I implore thee my foonting turlingdromes.
And hooptiously drangle me with crinkly bindlewurdles,
Or I will rend thee in the gobberwarts with my blurglecruncheon,
see if I don't!

If you look closely at the genome, you can make out the name "Slartibartfast."

A quick read of the article will answer that question for you.

3 years ago = draft
Now = finished version.

I just thought I'd point out, in case you're thinking 42 refers to the number of human chromosomes, that we humans have 46 of them. Thank you, drive through.
