Did you know that it’s Gregor Mendel’s 189th birthday? He’s the guy who demonstrated the principles of inheritance by cross-breeding pea plants. (You may recall this from the biology homework that you probably copied from me or someone like me.) I don’t know about you guys, but I think being the father of modern genetics is totally hot. If he were alive today, I’d be all, “Hey, Gregor Mendel, let’s find out our genotypes by reproducing and studying the distribution of traits amongst our offspring.” And he’d be all, “Sorry, oath of chastity.” And then we’d have a good laugh and maybe make some kick-ass Punnett squares.
