Today I’m going to give you something insightful.  Unfortunately it’s not me inventorying more things in my house and comparing my Spartan ways to my roommate’s uhh…non-Spartan ways.  Instead, I bring you an article that will make you think! 

I know, I know…you’re thinking to yourself right now, “Damnit Mike, I don’t come here to think! I come here to laugh and pass some time, and here you are, trying to push your ‘knowledge’ crap on me.  I wont stand for it, that’s it, starting tomorrow I’ll give you a piece of my mind, a piece so fierce that you’ll wish I hadn’t given it to you! And when I do, you’ll be all like ’Oh no! That was a fierce piece of mind!’  and then I’ll be like ’Yeah that’s right, it was wasn’t it, you greek mofo’.  That would learn you.  Hey did I wash my dishes yesterday?” 

Wow, you guys think some wierd things…so moving on…anyways I’m going to push the things on you I find fascinating anyways and today’s is a really awesome one.

If you can get the 20 mins to spare or so, give this article a read.  It’s the start of the next level of understanding oh how environmental conditions can change hereditary traits without affecting the actual DNA of a person and all sorts of other interesting ideas.  This goes beyond looking at only DNA, it’s into the the realm of lesser understood epigenomes, the results of which can lead to a number of breakthroughs in numerous areas.  It’s from Discover Magazine, so that should convince you of its quality.

I promise an interesting and thought-provoking read.  So check it out here.
