Here is something to make you all feel better. Humans (thats us, for all you non-biologists) have the same number of genes as a...... you guessed it !......a potato. Yes. THE potato. The ultimate feature-less, tasteless, lump of nothingness. Come to think of it, everything falls into place like a two piece jigsaw puzzle. The endless crusade to find out who I am, all reduced to a premarked multiple choice question by genomics.Its such a relief, really. I dont have to explain my behaviour anymore. Its all very much in character. You cant even accuse me of being full of gas.Idiots, morons, nitwits, thick heads thou shalt all serenade in full glory. Its all genetic, stupid. We finally know what we are staring at when looking inside a masala dosa.
However, we must tread with caution. We can only hope that, our cousins, the potatoes dont know this yet. We may see mass uprising, call for a revolution blah blah yadda yadda, in the future. History will truly repeat itself with the potatoes having a leader who will unashamedly appear in all possible textbooks (and will repeat himself in all languages). There will be call for reservations (to set right the thousands of years worth of oppression) and soon enough you will find yourself writing stinky code sitting next to a potato. You dont fancy that, do you ?
