Man and dog share 94% of DNA, apparently - perhaps that's why dogs and their owners get to look like each other?

I was under the impression that all life on our planet shares 94% of DNA.

That's the sort of question best asked after a skinful on a friday night.

 

I acquired a t-shirt recently which says 'A Dog is for Friday Nights - not for Life!' I don't necessarily subscribe to this viewpoint... but I can think of a few cases where it is distinctly apposite.

We share 98% of our DNA with Chimpazies and 2% with Bananas. Thats why, when you see a Chimp eating a Banana, they look almost human.

"Of the more than 5,500 mammals living today, dogs are arguably the most remarkable," said Prof Eric Lander, the report's senior author.

 

Boffin's come up with some great quotes:

I would have thought humans were quite 'remarkable mammals' - but I'm no boffin.

And we share some 50% of our DNA with bananas and many other veggies - that's why I only eat meat as I dont like any of my distant relatives

Warning thread hijack - just to get a few cannibal jokes out....

 

Two cannibals decided to share dinner.

One started at the head while the other started at the feet.

A while later, one asked the other "how ya doing?"

The other replied "I'm having a ball."

 

 

Two cannibals were eating dinner.

One says to the other:"I really hate my sister."

The other said:

"Well, just eat the noodles then."

 

 

Two cannibals were eating a clown.

One says to the other:

"Does this taste funny to you?"

 

Two cannibals sat beside a large fire,

They chat after eating the best meal they'd had in ages:

"Your wife sure makes a fine roast." commented the first cannibal.

"Yeah," replied the second. "I'm really going to miss her..."

 

A cannibal and his son are wandering through the desert and have not eaten in days. They come upon an oasis and decide to camp in the bushes till someone comes. The next morning they awake to see a beautiful young woman bathing in the waterfall. As the father watches the water cascade off her body, he is aware of his son at his side.

The boy says " I'm hungry dad, lets eat."

The father replies "This girl is too good too eat."

The boy grumbles that they have not eaten for days and he is really hungry. The father says he has a plan. The boy is overjoyed that he will soon eat, so he asks what the plan is...

The father says "We sneak up to the edge of the clearing, and when she comes out of the water, we both grab her & kidnap her,

Then we take her home, and Eat Your Mother".
