I'm not in a frat. I actually don't really like fraternities or their culture. I'm just a guy who enjoys a social night of drinking with friends. And laughing at them when they inevitably do stupid things. Is that so bad?

Also beer tastes amazing. Except for these crappy British lagers. I didn't know it was possible to make a beer worse than Budweiser.
 
you actually sing that crap MV? gosh american college culture is so wrong.

Never drink Port. Awful beer.
 
I hope there are some biologists here!

What exactly is a gene? According to my research a 'gene' is a particular piece of DNA that codes for a specific protein. For a protein chain to form, the tRNA molecule carrying the amino acid produces an anti-codon, which then base-pairs with a codon on an mRNA molecule. Is the 'gene' the anti-codon sequence on the tRNA, the codon on the mRNA sequence, or both of them after they've been base-paired?

You're mixing something up.
A gene is a specific part of the DNA.
In most cases, another protein converts this into a negative, the mRNA.
The mRNA is transported to the Ribosoms. Then the Ribosom takes the tRNAs, and matches their pattern (the anti-codon) with a pattern on the mRNA (the codon).
Attached to the tRNA there are amino acids, and they are connected to each other in the same order the tRNA is matched to the mRNA.

Is a gene the plan for a protein? If that's a question for school, then the answer is yes.
If not, then the answer is no. Then a gene is a sequence on the DNA for either a protein or a RNA.
Because e.g. the tRNAs themself are also encoded via genes. There are also some other pathways, which do not end in a protein, but into biochemically active RNAs, so called Ribozymes. They are not rare, but normally not covered in school.

To make it more complicated: There are RNA viruses. They do not have DNA, but RNA. They force their host to translate their RNA parts into DNA parts (also only some classes, not all). These genes are then further used to produce the virus in the host cell. And the original RNA parts, from which the genes are formed, are also called genes (not sure if that's really an established convention).

"I don't like pancakes."

"Why not? Pancakes are delicious?"

"I never had them."

"Why not?"

"I don't like them."

"..."

It's still a fallacious position.

Not serious meant counterquestion: Have you ever had anal sex?

You still wouldn't know if you liked it, you would only know your are too skerd or unwilling to try it. :p

No it is not :). Just don't make it out like if you don't do it there is something wrong with you.


Are you gay or brown? If not, you're fine I think.


Nope. I love mein ladies. ;)

Hey man, you're the one who started the whole thing. You're the guy who calls anybody who plays beer pong a douchey frat boy. It's not my fault you're missing out on a whole world of fun.

No, that be you who started the whole thing. It's stupid. Why do I want to get drunk? Give me a logical reason? Oh wait, you can't! Sorry, come again. :)
 
Do you mean Porter? Port is a fortified wine. From Portugal.

That's what I was thinking.

I don't drink Porters or Stouts because I had a reeeeaallly bad experience with them one night.

The long and short of it is that having to drink a mixed drink of Stout, Milk, Coca-cola, vodka, kahlúa, and rum is not fun. Ever.
