stoney321How sad (or, if you're in my head, AWESOME) that I'm frustrated with the lack of scientific knowledge abounding on the internets.
That is MEIOSIS. Mitosis: splitting into 2 identical cells. Meiosis: splitting into 4 half-cells, and those would be gametes, aka half-buns. JEEZ PEOPLE. (Although props for using bunnies, since meiosis is sexual reproduction.) Here's your mnemonic device for remembering: mitosis, two vowels divided in the beginning, meiosis, four.
ION; I am preparing to leave for Spring Break (FL. horse ranch, wheee!) and tomorrow is one of my most favorite people on EARTH'S birthday,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
anelith, who is sweet, kind, loving, and has a great sense of humor, and is smart as a tack, and is also one of the most interesting people to have a conversation with EVER. I love you, Anne-Girl!
Have a great next 10 days, and don't break anything while I'm gone! (And if anyone wants to help me knock out my To Do list, that would be super fantastic.) Here, have a song! Freezepop - Less Talk More Rokk, a personal fave on Guitar hero 2. :D

Date: 2008-03-13 03:05 pm (UTC)Hmm, from looking at that photo, I think that person did mean mitosis. It does look like the bunnies are dividing into duplicates of themselves.
Have a fabulous time on vacation!

Date: 2008-03-13 03:38 pm (UTC)Yes, they meant it, but they're incorrect as mitosis yields TWO cells, not four, which is Meiosis, which was my point?
Also, it's bunnies and the internet and I'm being silly?

Date: 2008-03-13 04:17 pm (UTC)Yeah, I got your point. Sorry I mentioned it.

Ahh, I see. No, you were clear in your original post, but it still made me think about the picture, and after looking at it, I could see how the poster meant mitosis because they do all look exactly the same. So, you see, I'm an even bigger dork.
Sorry, my blood sugar is getting low. Please take the chocolate as a peace offering. If I were there in person, I'd give you the real deal instead, but alas, the virtual stuff will have to do.
Enjoy Florida!

Date: 2008-03-13 03:40 pm (UTC)Oh, I like that. You should think of me as a rock goddess with my plastic controller and sad, suburban mom dreams. HEEEEEE!

And I'm glad you posted your music, so I can remind myself to post mine! I have ten days to get up a selection of Bloc Party tracks for your audial enjoyment, so I don't feel too pressured. ;)
I also have the Honest Bob and the Factory-to-Daler Incentives album with "Hey" on it, tht also has a very, very funny rendition of NIN's Head Like a Hole. I'll upload that, too, on the off chance you'd like to take an ear to that track as well. :D

Except i'm probably as allergic to bunny fur as i am to cat fur and i'd be sniffling and itching and sneezing right fast and have to go *wash*, which my cats just do not get, they're all 'omg, you stopped petting meeeeeee!!* and immediately try to *ruin* my cleanness.
Little furry bastards.
How shall we live with the wrong...weird sexual splitting?
*or...you know...whatever*

(The Mister is bringing his work with him, because he wants to pretend it's his spring break, also. Haha.)

Date: 2008-03-13 05:57 pm (UTC)How I love your science nerdiness! And that icon of yours! Spock loves you too.
I'm going to miss you while you're gone! But I know you'll be having enormous fun with your friend and *horses*, oh I envy you! Thanks so much for the sweet birthday wishes! I am looking forward to my birthday tomorrow as it has been a MASSIVELY BUSY few weeks here, and I plan to do as little as possible tomorrow.
Come back and tell us all about the horses, and your friend, and any Florida craziness that you hear about. Florida seems to gather craziness unto itself, don't you think? Makes for great stories!

I am bringing a pad and pen to record all the weirdness. CANNOT WAIT!!

Mmmm, bunny butts are surprisingly stretchy, so yes, I believe you're right. *goes to hell for that one*

I don't get the chance to ride anymore...ever since my physique decided to turn into Hoss's body double!

Anywho...ride like the wind doll!
I'll live vicariously through you for the next week or so.
