Guest Low Roller Posted February 25, 2003 Report Share Posted February 25, 2003 It just happens that today is the 50th anniversary of the discovery of DNA. Once the human genome is fully analyzed and understood, there will be the potential of eliminating all diseases and illnesses if used correctly. If used for evil, we can grow a giant army of stormtroopers, and quell insurrections in far off galaxies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phunky Cauldron Posted February 25, 2003 Report Share Posted February 25, 2003 The invention of the printing press in 1436 by johannes gutenberg. This was more or less the invention of mass communication and a huge leap into the future. Three cheers for Gutenberg. Hip Hip Hooray! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
