scientists crack critical part of human genome code

Published Apr. 24, 2008

A recent article in the journal Nature describes a breakthrough in deciphering that portion of the human genome which is believed to be the actual start of the code which, in its entirety, is over 3 billion amino acid base-pairs long. As it turns out, the code for the human genome was actually written by God in C language. In deciphering the code, scientists have also discovered why only about 30 percent of the human genome contains functional genetic code. The rest of it, it turns out, is mostly comments that God included to document the program. Here are the first lines of human genome code, written by God Himself:   
 ===
/* HUMAN_DNA.H
*
* Human Genome
* Version 2.1
*
* (C) God
*/

/* Revision history:
*
* 0000-00-01 00:00 1.0 Adam.
* 0000-00-02 10:00 1.1 Eve.
* 0000-00-03 02:11 1.2 Added penis code to male version. A bit messy --
* will require a rewrite later on to make it neater.
* 0017-03-12 03:14 1.3 Added extra sex drive to male.h; took code from
* elephant-dna.c
* 0145-10-03 16:33 1.4 Removed tail.
* 1115-00-31 17:20 1.5 Shortened forearms, expanded brain case.
* 2091-08-20 13:56 1.6 Opposable thumbs added to hand() routine.
* 2501-04-09 14:04 1.7 Minor cosmetic improvements -- skin colour made
* darker to match my own image.
* 2909-07-12 02:21 1.8 Dentition inadequate; added extra 'wisdom' teeth.
* Must remember to make mouth bigger to compensate.
* 4501-12-31 14:18 1.9 Increase average height.
* 5533-02-12 17:09 2.0 Added gay option, triggered by high population
* density, to try and slow the overpopulation problem.
* 6004-11-04 16:11 2.1 Made forefinger narrower to fit hole in centre of
* CD.

Just whack me on the nose with a rolled up newspaper. That's how my wife reboots me!

OMG Bob, it seems there is a recursive subroutine, would taking a newspaper out by a tree help any?

/* Lolly typing */

Pee ^= Wee

Not good lolly! Did you cut and paste some female code instead? I had an uncontrollable urge to sit for #1 instead of stand. I also have a sudden craving to watch Designing Women or anything on WE-TV.

Please fix asap!

ROFL - that should be unchanged milky...did you cry easily prior to the last revision?

I'm going to watch commercials for long distance plans and see if my tear glands leak fluid.

Bob systems testing, let me know how it goes

I'm going to go pee and see if I can still leave the seat up.

Yogi, I upped that and corrected the G thingy error
