It’s an RNA world. RNA is posited to be the first genetic material, arising 4 billion years ago. It can store information and act as an enzyme. Eventually, it duplicated its information into a more stable form, DNA.

My cat did this at my fingers when I'd visit him at the shelter before I got him for real (There was a 30ish day wait because he needed to be fixed and it was between semesters at the vet college, lol!) I just told him I'm a chemist and that's what he's getting, lol!

Everyone cheer for Lotus who did not have to be leashed or crated when a man from the city water came, even when he used a DRILL.

Gun Owners of America is lobbying Congress to pass the SAVE Act, which would require a majority of Americans to show a passport to register to vote. But GOA opposes any law that requires showing a drivers license to buy a gun. These are not serious people.

I mean, the USA had a lot of apes in a "tea party" a few years ago, no?
