efficiency isn't everything

This story is worth posting for the title alone Study: Chicken Genome Fills Crucial Knowledge Gap. Apparently, chickens and humans share more than half of the same genes. Both species have about the same number of genes in total, but chickens fit everything into a genome that's about half the size of the human genome. I think that says something important about efficiency and higher brain function.

It certainly helps me rationalize my cluttered desk.
