I make a mean pasta sauce--Godfather-style.
So it's garnished with horses' heads then?
Sorry...
I'm actually afraid to ride a bicycle, given that I haven't done so since my teens.
At least you won't have to wear the bright shorts then.
Arthur, do you not have a place to contact you on the site, or am I just missing it? I've never suggested a story to you before, but here goes:
It looks like you can now sell your DNA for at least $5,000 on the site SellMyDNA.com (http://www.sellmydna.com). The company purchasing it is New Line Genetics (http://www.newlinegenetics.com), and they say they'll use it for obtaining embryonic stem cells, and then they'll grow those stem cells into replacement organs in the lab.
I can see a gigantic battle emerging between those who think this will be beneficial to mankind, and those who think that selling their DNA is akin to selling their soul. Of course, there's also the stem cell debate that's currently raging around the world.
If you decide to post on it, would you please let me know? I'd be very interested to hear what you and your readers have to say about this issue.
Thanks,
Anthony

I thought did, since others have contacted me . . . but in any case I've put it up now.

It's an interesting story, and I may post on it. Though I realise it is just a figure of speech, as an atheist I don't think we have "souls" to sell (pace FriendlyAtheist).
Hmmm... I got an email about the idea of blogging about the topic of selling DNA. At first glances it looked like spam so I deleted it... Didn't read the contents :O
