The human genome has about 400 million more nucleotides than the mouse. A comparison of the two genomes reveals that both have about 30,000 genes, and they share the bulk of them—the human genome shares 99% of its genes with mice. Humans and mice diverged about 75 million years ago, too little time for many evolutionary differences to accumulate. There are only 300 genes unique to either organism, about 1% of the genome.What?

To put this into perspective, the number of genetic differences between humans and chimps is approximately 60 times less than that seen between human and mouse and about 10 times less than between the mouse and rat. On the other hand, the number of genetic differences between a human and a chimp is about 10 times more than between any two humans.I am finding this extremely confusing.

I spent so much time searching for something about social science, and looking at the other suggestions that I didn't look at the stickies.

Do you mean favorite joke? If you meant thread' date=' why the past tense? This thread has to continue until it's longer than the "Guns" thread!
You owe us a joke for that comment, you know!
A man finds a genie in a bottle. The genie tells him he can have whatever he wants, provided that his mother-in-law gets double. The man thinks for a moment and then says, "OK, give me a million dollars and beat me half to death."[/quote']
No one posted anything for a while, it was all the way on the second page. My post was to bump the thread up more then anything else. This is my favorite thread!

A Dublin lawyer died in poverty and many barristers of the city subscribed to a fund for his funeral. The Lord Chief Justice of Orbury was asked to donate a shilling. "Only a shilling?" said the man. "Only a shilling to bury an attorney? Here's a guinea; go and bury 20 more of them."

Oscar was an unlucky sap. Having just spent megabucks on a skydiving class, he dove out of the airplane and pulled the ripcord. The chute emerged, tangled, and he cut it free. He then pulled the cord on the reserve chute, and it also was tangled. He prayed to his God and looked down to the ground below. To his amazement, a woman was coming up with equal velocity.
"Hey, you know anything about parachutes?" he shouted to her, as they passed by.
The reply: "No... you know anything about Coleman stoves?"

Two missionaries were captured in a jungle for defiling the jungle by entering. The natives tell them they are to be punished and and gives them a choice Pongaponga or death. The first doesn't want to die so he chooses pongaponga, and they slowly peel off his skin and pour gallons of lemon juice on him and he crawls out of the forest barley alive. The second one can't go through with it so he chooses death. The natives all yell "DEATH BY PONGAPONGA"

A man walks into a supermarket and buys a toothbrush' date=' a tube of toothpaste, a loaf of bread, a pint of milk, and a single serving frozen dinner.
The woman at the checkout looks at him and says, "Single, are you?"
The man replies very sarcastically, "How did you guess, genius?"
She replies, "Because you're ugly."[/quote']
