  God's Human DNA Code
 
 
 
 For many years molecular biologists have been mystified by the fact that very
 little of an organism's DNA seems to serve any useful function.
  
 I have solved the mystery.
  
 The reason why only 30% of human DNA performs any useful function is that the
 rest of it is comments.
  
 Once we decode a typical human genome, we see that the contents begin as
 follows:
  
 ===
 /* HUMAN_DNA.H
  *
  * Human Genome
  * Version 2.1
  *
  * (C) God
  */
  
 /* Revision history:
  *
  * 0000-00-01 00:00  1.0  Adam.
  * 0000-00-02 10:00  1.1  Eve.
  * 0000-00-03 02:11  1.2  Added penis code to male version. A bit messy --
  *                        will require a rewrite later on to make it neater.
  * 0017-03-12 03:14  1.3  Added extra sex drive to male.h; took code from
  *                        elephant-dna.c
  * 0145-10-03 16:33  1.4  Removed tail.
  * 1115-00-31 17:20  1.5  Shortened forearms, expanded brain case.
  * 2091-08-20 13:56  1.6  Opposable thumbs added to hand() routine.
  * 2501-04-09 14:04  1.7  Minor cosmetic improvements -- skin colour made
  *                        darker to match my own image.
  * 2909-07-12 02:21  1.8  Dentition inadequate; added extra 'wisdom' teeth.
  *                        Must remember to make mouth bigger to compensate.
  * 4501-12-31 14:18  1.9  Increase average height.
  * 5533-02-12 17:09  2.0  Added gay option, triggered by high population
  *                        density, to try and slow the overpopulation problem.
  * 6004-11-04 16:11  2.1  Made forefinger narrower to fit hole in centre of
  *                        CD.

 ...and so on.
