When Subservient Chicken first came out, several years ago, you could watch the commercials on the Internet. They were _so_ weird, having to do with these two girls making him do things. I never saw him on TV, though, but then, just last week, there he was!!
The whole thought behind the campaign is "Chicken, have it your way."
I'm a bit overly sensitive today - _now_ I see the humor Lise - hee hee :)
That chicken guy is a little freaky.
Whose DNA is in the placenta? Good question. I did not know it was the baby's. I thought it was the mom's. Interesting.
Back to watching the TDF on my TV ;)
Wellll...your DNA is yours, right? But they can tell who your mom and dad are (or aren't) by comparing your DNA with theirs. Sperm + egg = 4 cells that multiply and multiply and multiply...it is fascinating. Embryology is really cool. The whole kit'n'kaboodle of baby, placenta, bag of waters comes from those first 4 cells. Once those two come together, all bets are off. Sperm was dad's, egg was mom's, but now they're a new creation. Any wonder I dig my job? :DQuote:

I was in a bad mood after work, but I just got to learn about aluminum seat posts, cannibalism, pooping on the floor, and placenta.
This thread is great.
In other news, I have finally decided to battle the downstairs neighbors. Last night my apartment was so full of their cigarette smoke that it woke me up at 4am. After being a building manager in college, there is very little that I can't sleep through.
My cats were coughing. So, I called the building manager up to take a whiff, and he agreed that it was excessive. Since this building allows smoking, I don't think he can do anything but ask them to shut their outside door, but that would be a huge help. He said he'd speak to the owner, because there was no reason why it should be that bad. They're also *really* loud (lease has a quiet clause) and have been spoken to at least twice in the last two weeks for noise (I've been gone for half of that) so that might provide some leverage, but...
If they want to smoke, it's their decision, but it's also my decision not to. I would really, really like to not have to move because of them. This isn't healthy for me or my fuzzballs. :(
I used to live in a place where these very loud Brazillian people would stand in the courtyard and talk and smoke all night. I was so glad to buy my own place...

Good night all (or good morning, depending on where you live).
