I am going to have my DNA collected and turned into art! While my odd appearance, extra appendage and multiple unique patches of various types of hairs have plagued me throughout my life I am sure they will make an astounding picture. Does it matter what cheek I have to swap? I have this aversion to putting cotton in my mouth.My DNA prints will be personally signed in the genetic material of the buyer's choice.

And this is worthy of being a news story? Are we that desperate for something to write about? I suggest this reporter go find a job stuffing quarters in the slot at the car wash for people if he is fascinated with Pez dispensers. Stupid Stupid.
