Pan Gu

In the paper we were discussing today, there was a gene called Pan Gu.

The boss asked:"Is that a Chinese thing?"

We told him:"Yes. It is a Chinese god. In Chinese myth, he basically created this world. You see the world before him was like an egg. No heaven, no earth, no nothing. Then he was born. He cut the egg in half with an axe. The upper part was light and it floated up to form the heaven. The lower part was heavy, so it dropped down to become the earth."

He thought about this for a second and said:"I wonder if he's going to incoorperate this into the textbooks, along with the Intellectual Design."

Of course, he had been reading TIME.
