  1. “The part about reverse-engineering chicken DNA was very interesting. We learned all about this in Embryology class. The “tail thing” has been well known for a long time.”

    DIBS used the chicken and “the tail thing” in the same sentence. We know what he’s thinking…

  2. Jester Jester Jester…have I not taught you anything?

    There is no such thing as evolution.
    Everything was created by God: birds, dinosaurs and even Monday Night Football.

    Get your head outta your ass, son. May be time to send you to Bible Camp right about now.

  3. Rf- Thanks for the info. I’ve still been trying to find the darn things.

    Did they ask for proof of residence? Jersey isn’t even trying to act like they’re getting them. NY seems to be making an effort at least.

    THL,

    You can make up an address. They checked NOTHING. My daughter’s race is different from mine and there was no problem. They give you a very basic form to fill out. On the back there are a few (10?) very basic medical history questions. You can download the form and fill it out at home. Here’s a link for the download and weekend clinic locations:

    They have the single-dose, non-Thimerisol vaccine for pregnant women. These clinics are 9-6 Saturday and 9-5 Sunday, at various schools in all 5 boroughs. I haven’t heard anything about lines at any of them. You just show up, fill out the forms, get your shot (or inhaled dose but not for a pregnant woman), wait 15 mins just in case you have a reaction, and go. I have asthma so fit the criteria but I’ve heard that they are taking healthy adults as well (someone i know went via car service and the car service driver stayed to get the shot), and one woman I know about got the shot despite the fact that she is over 64 so not within the target group.

  4. I saw the dinosaur segment. It was cool. Also, they are probably close to obtaining some dinosaur DNA. The part about reverse-engineering chicken DNA was very interesting.

    We learned all about this in Embryology class. The “tail thing” has been well known for a long time.
