David may be interested to know that here at the Max Planck Institut in Wolfau, Austria we have not only identified the gene that causes people to study genes but have been cloning that gene for many years now. In the 60s we started with simple things like cloning photosynthesis genes into bacteria, and then we moved on to putting pesticide resistence genes into tomatoe plants and pineapples, and oil producing genes into bacteria. Thus has Newfoundland become world famous for bumper crops of tomatoes and pineapples, really cheap gasoline and a very large sociobiology department with a focus on producing faculty interested in the genetic makeup of faculty who study the genetic makeup of faculty who study all or at least one of the above dispositions. I may perhaps be permitted to mention that one highly curious personality trait of cloned faculty is the tendency to steal the petri dishes from the labs. This trait was not displayed by any of the organisms usesd as sources of the original DNA. So if anyone has a few hundred dishes to spare, please do pass them along to the address below. Returning you now to your previously scheduled programming on the nature of logical contradiction (or not).
