I have done something very wrong in my life.... I was reading a document today and it had this in it:

781 gtccaccaca ccacgggcca ccaagcggtg gaccggccag gtcccaatgc ccaa
and not only did I not question what the heck does that mean, I accually thought to myself "I glade they put that in there." If you think you know what this is... you get extra points by naming the what it is.

The sequence of amino acids in testosterone?

Wow you are right, and Josef you are very close on the bonus! It is a DNA sequence of amino acids in a cell from a Human bladder. The only reason I know that is because it was labeled as such in the document I was reading.

Nice to know something stuck from Molecular Biology...

I knew it was human amino acid sequencing from something... for what thats worth.. i would never have known from where in the body though. But then again I went to a State school *wink*

I knew it was DNA sequence data. But what and what it would be used for and why you would want to tell anyone that you had this information is beyond me. I will stick to useless knowlage of video game display hardware.
Show me some hex code for 68000 or 6502 and I am there with the useless information!
I am also good with hex dumps of stack frames on mips processors where the code was compiled with gcc.
I am available for parties.
