the human genome project

the human genome project
My nephew has a doctorate in "Studying all that Biological Stuff."
After his mother's funeral at dinner I asked him how the human genome project was going and was he working on it.
He is very quiet and uses short sentences if possible. He said, "We finished that."
I changed the subject to Latent Hopes of Tibetan Monks, where I have more expertise. You don't want to look too stupid to your smart nephew.

Anyway, it still nagged me that I knew so little about the Human Genome Project. After almost two years of this nagging I decided to look up Human Genome on Google, my favorite place to look up the strange and obvious.
Well, that was a downright lie. That's not why I looked it up. The real reason was I learned that the Department of Energy was involved. (That was before I remembered that DOE has these gigantic computers that can handle complex projects like the HGP.) I decided there was another governmental conspiracy we had not learned about. It smelled like Vice President Dick Cheney's Cabal again. They were going to turn some of us humans into pillars of oil.
At my friend's house, Mr. Google.com, I looked at the top entry which often is as far as I want to dive into 10 zillion submissions. It seems that everybody in the universe knows more about the human genome than I do and each one has written at least one article or web page for the Internet.
