Yup, you heard that us humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes and all that. 23andme.com is offering a personal genetic analysis. You pay a cool $999,00 and you get a personalized kit with instructions on how to “spit” in plastic cup and send it back to them for analysis. What can they tell you? How about what diseases you are prone to, what traits you got from which relative, or will you be fat by 40?. Sound crazy? This guy feels great about it enough to write a play by play on his experience using this service. I must admit I feel tempted to try it.

update - as I watch diggnation’s live taping. I am learning that this product now costs $399 - Now I will consider it..

“Li Ka-shing is the richest man in Asia and the ninth richest person in the world, and owner of an appropriate rich guy last name. His wealth is valued at $23 billion” and he recently decided to drop 60 million for a piece of Facebook. What a cheap ass! I also read that he dresses “modestly”. When you run out of money next time, just say his name three times. Watch the money pour in.  Can anyone get this guy to introduce China to greener technologies?  I noticed his portfolio pretty much pollutes the earth.
