Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Saturday, September 13, 2008

Scientists around the world have teamed up to sequence the genome of the potato, hoping to crack the genetic code of one of the world's most important crops at a time of surging population growth and high food prices.

Finally! Now to get gene therapy so I can speak in the third person too!


be well?

dirt in the eye.



Our Spud's genetic code could contain the key to an abundant source of cannabis tuberous.

Since the potatoes genetic code is about 98% the same as humans, does it mean that there is some evolutionary link?

Does this mean that the dethspud is being coded as a world-wide genetic donor--this could be serious for right-wingers in general and left-wingers who stray too far--

Potato was first discovered in South America before it was called South America. That's what I've been told.

Potato (famine) was responsible for bringing many Irish to America --- maybe even ancestors of Kennedy's and Clinton's and McCain's.

My, rcade is larky today.

The Irish were a smart group. We are lucky to have all their descendants here. When their potatoe crop failed after years of refusing to plant anything else, they looked out at all the fish jumping in the sea and said "We don't know how to fish or plant anything else so let's move to America".

Trying to get into Spud's genes, eh?

At least buy him a drink first, ya cheapskate scientists!

Also... Would a compliment kill ya.

Yeesh!

Be Well.

/Almost here.

China owns the spud harvest, too...the article says!

Spud:
Good Morning!!!

Still allergic to e-mail?

I thought this was going to be a genetic trace of our Spud's ancestry. FF to Spud.

All this time I thought came from a monkey and now I find out I'm from a French Fry.

Potato was intelligently designed for human consumption.

Also... Would a compliment kill ya.

Here ya go.

Global Corporations are patenting rice grown for 5000 years in India. Corporations are patenting your genome, if they see any commercial value in it.

The biotech Industry puts money before life and they are not alone. Our Courts have failed us bigtime. Big money trumps life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

We are headed towards a convergance of Facism and Corporatism whose economic structure is similar to Medieval Societies. Instead of a King and Pope getting everything its the CEO and Pat Robertson. Consider just this, our Government considers the Saudi Royal Family a friend and ally.


Spud:
Good Morning!!!

Thank you,

Our resident schizophrenic spud's genome can be broken down into two parts. An asshole and a mouth, that are interchangeable.

Wuzza?

*clicks link*

IT IS the world's fourth-most-important food crop, after maize, wheat and rice. It provides more calories, more quickly, using less land and in a wider range of climates than any other plant. It is, of course, the potato.

The United Nations has declared 2008 the International Year of the Potato...

&Spud is puff up chest*

Hear THAT, naysayers?

If you read between the lines there it sez that Spud is fourth most important Potato person EVAR!

Now THAT'S more like it.

Spud: Good Morning!!!

Good eve to you and yeah, ...purty much.

Thanx fer asking.

Be Well.

/Also ...just so folks stop asking already Spud's genetic code is "up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A"
