So, knowing this, will more lives be saved???
Seriously, they can spend many hours pondering these kinds of things and yet they still can't find a cruise ship that won't run aground, catch fire, or sink because of human error? 
I like the scientific research used to determine that, but really, what use is that information today?
That's like spending time and money to discover that the Wright Brothers only got off the ground because of the "butterfly effect" the day before.
In other words, it's info destined for a Jeapardy clue! |

I think I read that Alex Trebec funded this research..  |
 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

The scientists got together and said, "Hey, when we said the globe was warming with potentially catastrophic effects, nobody believed us."
"Next time, we should work on something about the Titanic, people eat that stuff up. Then we can pitch our findings to some production company, and make some folding green." |
