I can not find any pictures of the trash patch on the internet??? I am getting the feeling that the shows intro for the past two days was a bit overdone.

One question. I'm sorry, but it has to be asked: Umm...from where did they get Bill Clinton's DNA sample?

And finally, is this stuff really surprising anymore? Anyone heard of the human genome project...anyone?
