i really gotta agree with calvin (click "no"), scientist just dont know how to come up with good names. i just sat from an exam that knows not language, wat kinda word is "decapentaplegic".. sounds like decapitating logic.. but its just a gene to code for a protein. try other like spätzle, or rhombiod, twist n snail.. heck there is even sonic hedgehog.. which unfortunately is nothing like sonic the hedgehog in the good ol sega game. want more genes.. nanos, bicoid, caudal, hunchback.. which doesnt give u a hunched back by the way.. just helps the fly develop.
lucky this greek paper is over, but i am faced with a more uphill task in chemistry.. oh, i am sooo dead. more greek, names that make sense, but reactions that just cant stick in my head.
now i gotta start knowin my stuff.. dansyl chloride, ninhydrin, fmoc, claisen, aldol, peptide disulfide isomerase, theworldisinamess..!! (caughtchya on the last bit)

*there is this one strip i remember from calvin and hobbes where he tries to sell scientific names on the street (as opposed to the traditional lemonade). the link leads to the strips, categorized by subject*
