AWKWARD ZOMBIE

But how can we become allergic to something when evolution tells us that we adapt to the environment.

I played the sequel of The Longest Journey first called Dreamfall: The Longest Journey, thinking it was a game on it's own without ever knowing about the first game made called The Longest Journey. Ugh.

Evolution is trial and error mutation
We're not consciously adapting, no one looks at our DNA and says "Hmm, this person is allergic to beans, lets sterilize him/kill him"

Yeah. Basically, we get allergies through "accidental" mutation and it just stays in the gene pool because the person avoids what they're allergic to and survives, and breeds.

"Accidental mutation"? What the heck constitutes non-accidental mutation? What, is there a guy who goes "Hmm, a barrel of radioactive waste. Hey, I know, I'm gonna stick my head in it!"

Mutations come in three different varieties: malignant, benign, and adaptive. I imagine by "accidental" mutation Star would probably mean something like cancer. For example, the P53 protein regulates gene transcription. It acts as a tumor suppressor by repairing any damage to the genome and by triggering cell death to prevent the mutated cells from creating more copies of itself. If you have a dysfunctional P53 protein, any irregularities in the genome will be reproduced over and over, creating a cancerous tumor.

And while you can develop adaptive mutations, they cannot be passed on to your children unless the mutations occur in the gametes.

Drawing a foot.

That conversation you were having about mutation has made me confus.

Also, I just heard my dad listening to music that I recognize from a video game. Now I am very confus.

Genetics class all over again... ugh.

The popularity of Hannah Montana and many other "Disney-singers" make me confus.

Tuxedo Mask. Apparently beeing sick makes him act weird, one time he is pop flyin' like a nut, and in the other he is angry at me.

Either he's preggers or he got PMS.

I cannot distinguish anime from another, they all sound the same, all the faces are the same, all the women wear the same things on their legs, all the women are partially naked except for the epic srs ones or the old ones. You can only separate one character from another by their hair.

Why are almost all anime dudes thin and waify and have long hair? And why do girls find this hot but not dudes who actually look like dudes?

Are there just a lot of closet lesbians in the world?
