Alex Palazzo is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biochemistry at The University of Toronto.
I heard about this great new (parody) company, NEXTgencode. You gotta love their tagline: Your Destiny is no Longer in Question.
From their website:
Want to see some of their "products"? Here's an add:
Some products include:
- Permapuppy ... have a pet that never grows up!
- Special gene purchases (2XE4 to improve mathematical ability, BLSHt for better verbal facility)
- EnlargeEar ... make your ears 20% larger to "bring you back into the conversation".
(It's funny, while surfing the site we found a link to this other great site.)
For more visit NEXTgencode!

Looks like this is some kind of tie-in for Michael Crichton's new book. Which, given the anti-scientist tone of his last one, puts something of a different spin on things.

I got the book already! Three days before its release date. But I'm not going to tell you what's in it...because I probably won't get to it until the end of the week. :P

I suppose you would get peeved if some pedant came by and pointed out that "ad" should have only one 'd'.
