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.. 
Interesting article. I really like your blog overall. Really makes me think! Thanks!
