Re: Scary news for Sloman

Jeremy Burrows
On the positive side, though, as 13th cousins we would only have about 1/16,000 of our DNA in common ... but I guess that 1/16,000 is probably where the madness comes from, don't you?


Oh dear: DNA in common, eh?

I wonder what your chance is of acquiring a gouty toe? And worse, you had better start looking after those kidneys Jezza! That's a familial thing too...

Re: Scary news for Sloman

And Alan claimed he was pure blood Welsh to me. Just shows rogue genes can show up in any family tree

OK, here's the science bit.

Bad news, guys. Even those who are not related share a whopping 99.9% of their DNA.

Of course, another way of looking at this is there are more than three million differences between your genome and anyone else's.

Supposedly half of European men are descended from one productive chap 4,000 years ago

Re: Scary news for Sloman

I SO WANT TO BE ABLE TO DO A LIKE on EMMA's POST!

Bravenet developers.
Can we have a like button!!!



My code to post this was fck6vd

Is that close to a word describing Alan's DNA

Re: Scary news for Sloman

Allegedly humans share 50% of their DNA with bananas, so Alan is half a banana. Explains a lot

Re: Scary news for Sloman

Cows are 80% genetically similar to humans

The fruit fly shares about 60% of its DNA with humans


I'll leave that with you..... ;-)

Re: Scary news for Sloman

Are you suggesting that Sloman is not only 50% a banana but also 80% a cow? Surely there's something in the Challenge rules that prohibits his participation!

Re: Scary news for Sloman

It has been suggested that most challengers are 100% bananas!

Re: Scary news for Sloman

Jezza and the Slowworm-two peas in a pod. Explains a lot!
