Octopuses don’t have tentacles; they have arms.

Although I clicked 'Like' on your post, it's actually a sad fact that we humans are doing this to the planet. Soon enough Mother Nature will get fed up with our destructive behavior and simply exterminate our asses.

The creator of Comic Sans only used the font once.

Ummm... guess this means that I'm out of touch because I actually like Comic Sans and have used it a little through the years.  laughing7

This was from my town :)

DNA forensics was first reported in 1984 by Dr. Alec Jefferys at the University of Leicester when he realized that DNA contained sequences that continued to repeat next to each other. He also figured out that these sequences that were repeated were different for each individual. After this discovery Dr. Jefferys had paved the way for the development of identity tests. Later on in 1987 genetic fingerprinting was made available when Imperial Chemical Industries, a chemical company in England, started a center that tests blood.
