BLUEPRINT OF LIFE
*****************

Just for a lark, I piped the data from the gene sequencing
program into the cryptology computer.  The decryption algorithm
read the string of G's, C's and A's as a base three integer set
and started chugging.  To my shock, it found a sequence of six
thousand characters that translated into a graphical format.  I
pulled it up on a viewer and saw a rough yet accurate caricature
of a human body.

Somday we're going to break the genetic code and monkey with the
basic fabric of life.  When we do, we'll have to make sure to 
avoid copyright infringement.
