Will yummy DNA-A get me an A?





I'm giving a presentation tomorrow in class and decided to hand out licorice. It's not really a bribe. See, licorice sort of looks like tightly coiled DNA. You know...it's twisty like a double helix...and I bet it also has sugar and phosphate in it...okay fine, it's a bribe.

And if the candy doesn't work on them, I might have to use my tried, tested and true corny science jokes. Such as:
How do you tell the sex of a chromosome?
You pull down it's genes.

How have I not heard that one?

Apparently 13 months isn't long enough to have heard all of your jokes.

Well a girl's gotta keep some things to herself, you know, whether they be corny science jokes or clandestine affairs with a certain bald starship captain...
