Last month National Geographic did an article about identical twins and the affect identical dna being raised in different areas had on intelligence. How differently each twin turned out despite the same dna (and many eerie similarities that can only be explained by dna!)
It got me wondering if Mike and I cloned ourselves and had them live constantly in the presence of babies, would they be more likely to procreate? DNA is amazing. Wouldn't that be a neat (except unethical since outside of baby making our clones would pretty much be pets) experiment? It would be neat to see how all those "baby" smells and vibes would affect our clones.
Just fun and crazy thinking.
On the rational side, I made flash cards of the Russian alphabet! We will see how that works. I figure if I can first memorize the alphabet and the names/sounds of the letters, I can start into the words and common phrases next.
Did you know a backwards capital R is called a yah. It can have four different sounds too! ya as in yacht; yi as in yippy; the short i as in sit; or the neutral a when it's at the end of a word as in sofa.
Holy Moly!
