ANNOUNCEMENT: MERLIN'S MEDICINE

We are happy to announce that City Pension House an SBU of Erations Comglomerate is working on a fictional fokelore short story entitled "Merlin's Medicine."  

This short story takes place in a far away place, and a distant time when medicine in Greece was being used to cure people of their ailments.  There is a particular boy, Jejomar who is discontent with himself and he encounters a practitioner who owns his own shop.  Jejomar is given the "magic pill" with the promise that he would become what he wants.  The boy, takes the pill and expiriences a change.  The desired change.  He notices his face and his body have changed.  As he goes out to town, young girls take note.  The boy is then faced with a new reality with a new set of problems.  He is unprepared for such problems and confides in these girls.  The issues become problematic as each lass he talks to wants a comitment.  Such new set of problems causes the boy to go back to the practitioner demanding the changes be undone.  The practitioner tells Jejomar that it cannot be.  The adventure he expiriences with each girl is wild and uncouth.  The boy continues to live with these problems and is forced to comit to a single lass who teaches him manners and ways of being proper.  They fall in love and they live happily ever after.

It is a work in progress, and we do hope you keep tuned for updates on "Merlin's Medicine".

SOCIAL: EXTRACTING DNA FROM BONES

I was just thinking.  Archeologist often excavate sites and discover bones.  With these bones, there is a possibility that DNA can be extracted.  With curent technology, it is only possible to extract said DNA if the bones were preserved in a manner that DNA material did not decompose.  Such is the case when excavators discover bones in places like the arctic.  My point is here, arn't the bones that are made a form of DNA in itself.  Clearly a specific DNA had to produce the specific bones.  Can't scientist reverse engineer the process to determine what DNA specifically created the bone structure of what was excavated?  I think that each person has a unique variation of bone in their body produced by their unique DNA.  Its just a theory and I think it needs to be looked at more closely.

Currently, when paleontologists extract DNA from bone, they are getting the DNA mostly from the osteocytes.  But issnt the specific structure of the bone itself unique to the person?  Issnt it then possible to determine what specific DNA caused the bone to be structured in that way?
