23andMe is a Google-backed web-based genetic mapping start-up. In doing some research for a story pitch I was just watching a cartoony Genetics 101 video they have up on their site. Something caught my eye. Check out the first line of "gibberish" on the sheet supposed to represent the genetic code being passed from one generation to the next. It's a little joke on those of us might be a little wary of the idea of gene mapping:

UPDATE: I should be clearer. The letters in the DNA sheet aren't completely random -- they represent the DNA bases Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, and Thymine. It's the arrangement here that's funny.
