Long Island, NY. The center stage of white trash theatre. The fish-shaped land mass that gave you Joey Buttafuoco, Amy Fisher and Jessica Hahn; where guys surnamed "diddy" hold white (clothing) only soirées each summer in the Hamptons; where Rudy used taxpayer dollars to show Judy his one-eyed, Italian, sausage snake in private. It has to be all the MBTE that got pumped into the water supply. We just don't know how to keep from fucking up.
The latest act in this long running show? Dr. James D. Watson -- the molecular biologist who won a Nobel Prize for his work in discovering DNA in the 1950s. He was also known as the acclaimed, but now former, chancellor of the prestigious Cold Spring Harbor laboratory. Screech!!!!!! Crash!
Wait a minute...what do you mean, former, Spartacus? That's right kids. Doc Jimmy is the "former" chancellor because a few months ago he just could not STFU. Bang! Zoom!
He was quoted as stating that he was "inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa" as "all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours — whereas all the testing says not really." Really!
Well, the story gets even funnier. It turns out that 16% of Doc Jimmy's genetic code (the very DNA he discovered) is of African origins. You can read about it here:
Watson's DNA reveals some African ancestry
This is really nothing new as most of us have genetic code that can be traced back to African ancestry. But the average African DNA code for most white folk of European descent is 1%, meaning that Doc Jimmy is alot closer to his African "Roots" than he led us to believe.
Gotta love Long Island folks. We truly know how to put the "fun" in dysfunctional. Well, in tribute to Doc Jimmy's wonderful achievements in molecular biology, his spectacular downfall, and this most ironic genetic "discovery", I give you this....
