I'm pretty sure she spits on the monitor because then every little pixel is a rainbow (I think it only works on crts, though)...hasn't everyone done that?

I spit on mine every time I get a blue screen.

I instantly thought the same thing. I clearly remember doing that. And using a magnifying glass, and even better, Magnets on a CRT (sorry about that discororation, Mum).

This looks very interesting. Is the rest of it out there anywhere? Looks like we might be beginning to get some real answers on the age-old nature / nurture debate. Thanks Dr. Snooze, you pre-frontal cortex tease!

I watched the full program a few months back, and it's really fascinating. The teaser doesn't quite do it justice, epigenetics seems to be a huge breakthrough in understanding exactly how the genome works.

Shmawy, someone actually sifted the full program to videosift months ago, but it was pulled. If you want the full video do a torrent search for Nova "ghost in your genes".

In the mean time here's an interesting little sideshow about one epigenetic experiment. Featuring cute mice.

Entr0py,
Thanks for that help.
