That's a shitload of genes. I almost expect them to come out and say that they found genes that corellate to the virus's eye and hair color...

No, no, no. If Voyager was right its as follows:

ARGH! THE CORE OF THE EARTH HAS STOPPED ITS ROTATION MEANING WE ARE NO LONGER PROTECTED FROM THE DANGEROUS ENERGIES EXUDED BY THE CRACK IN THE SUNS EVENT HORIZON THAT IS CREATING SUBSPACE ANOMALIES MEANING THAT I AM ABOUT TO PASS OUT BECAUSE I HAVEN'T TAKEN A BREATH!

I'm still waiting for that to happen, so I can justify to my parents pursuing an English degree.

So, you want to justify getting an English degree? Have you tried telling them that you're a masochist?

Because reading books and going to two lectures a week is physically painful?
Maybe you should try doing a BSc some time...

Wow. Can't be that effective though. Now lets see how we can make it into a harmless classroom demonstration model.

Nope. But I have, on numerous occasions, strung together multi-syllabic words that, to the untrained tongue, are virtually unpronounceable in a vicious and unwaveringly degrading insult.

Much like I do to people who call pursuing an English degree "massochistic".

I'll spare you the five-mile insult and just pass it off as ignorance. Plain and simple.
