An interesting day at work. (not mine)

Policeman hijacks payroll plane

A couple Australian pilots flying a small plane carrying a lot of payroll money had an interesting day at work. The two police guards flying with them pull out their guns and forced them to land the plane. The pilots are okay and the 2 million in cash has been recovered.

It's bad that one of the robbers was shot dead (tho maybe he deserved it) but it's good that the victims are okay. Hopefully they're psychologically sound after this. I imagine them laughing it off over a few drinks. Of course, I'm very very removed from the situation and I don't know these men so my imagination is ill-informed.

23AndMe Will Decode Your DNA for $1,000. Welcome to the Age of Genomics

An interesting article... well, I was interested for a while but I stopped reading on the fourth page.

I'd kind of like to know what is in my genetic makeup.
