Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Empty-headed young females... glad I'm an old fart...

She's sucking her teeth like she's thinking of something yummy to eat, like a can of Crisco.

Please see my second to last post. OMG. Not that I'm tryin' to visualize yer drippin' dick, dude... but OMG. I'm wrecked for the day now.

I'm gonna kill 2legit next time I see him. LOLOL

speaking of the survival of the human race, as though it's in our own handss.. if figure the two-stranded DNA design has about reached it's limits of success or viability.

what's needed now, or in the near future, is a four-stranded DNA design. it'll leap=frog us into the future, and into galactic and inter-galactic space travel.

for all of us to survive on this Earth, it'd have to be at least four times larger than it is now. that's unreasonable. so reaching out into space, now that's an option.

breeding age females should remain protected at all costs. they are, afterall our future.

speaking of true challenges, just consider integrating the two-stranded DNA and the four-stranded DNA into a sustainable system. can it happen in our time?

I read an article just this last week about a girl in England who died of not having bowel movements. Obviously she had a mental condition but she thought BM's would injure her so she quit going. After 8 weeks of retaining it, her abdomen became distended (no kidding!) and it killed her. They did an autopsy to find out what the problem was. I can't imagine being the pathologist on that one.

I wondered how fast you'd pick that up, my friend! LOL! Trust me, you wouldn't do one of these chicks with EvilTwin's dick...

Yeah. I have to chuckle when I read scientific-illiterates expounding on science they haven't the faintest glimmer of an inkling about. It's really common on social media. I get a lotta laughs reading Facebook posts. Gus' "four-strand DNA" post is priceless... the guy has a wonderful imagination, if a fairly tenuous grasp of biochemistry and molecular biology.

Gus, Gus, GusGusGus...

That is not a "theory". It is merely conjecture.

Conjecture is useful only as a starting point in the scientific method. It isn't a scientific fact, a theory, or even a hypothesis (although it may be based on science), but is simply an idea thrown out for discussion. Conjecture, in the context of a set of valid observations, may lead to a hypothesis; and by testing that hypothesis sufficiently you might eventually develop a theory.

But calling the idea that all life came from another planet a theory is a grammar-school mistake.

Now, suggesting that four-stranded DNA might somehow be an improvement over existing two-stranded DNA isn't even conjecture. It's science fiction, very light on the "science" and heavy on the "fiction".

All forms of life on this planet, from the simplest protobacteria to the most complex vertebrate, contain more or less the same enzymes, subtrates, and cofactors needed to make RNA and DNA. Even primitive viral DNA is in essence no different than human DNA, which is why viruses can infect our bodies and make us sick.

Anyone who has survived a year of freshman chemistry and has then gone on to organic chemistry as a sophomore as prerequisites for beginning a study of biochemistry (in which the study of DNA begins) knows that the double-helix strands of a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecule form up in pair fashion for a bunch of reasons. For the same reason that RNA is always single-stranded, DNA is always double-stranded. To make a four-stranded nucleic acid chain, you would need to start with completely different chemical substrates, and a completely new set of enzymes to synthesize the various pieces and parts. DNA could never be four-stranded for these very well-understood chemical reasons, and if a four-stranded nucleic acid chain existed somewhere, it wouldn't be based on ribose or deoxyribose; it would have to be based on some completely different chemistry that does not exist, and never has existed, on planet Earth. Four-stranded nucleic acid chains are not something that will ever "evolve" on our planet, from species that live on this planet.

Thanks for provoking me to write this post. It's interesting to me on multiple levels.

Besides, it's giving me an excuse not to go out and clean the garage.

You would have to post that! It reminds me of the story of the two Ole Swede Brothers and their Boar Hog and the prize for the biggest heaviest hog at the County Fair.

It had something to do with a cork stopper and their Pet Monkey after the County Fair.
