where did i leave that number...let me check my bacteria

this is friggin' insane!

"A research team said this week it had developed a technology for storing digital data in the DNA of bacteria, which unlike most living organisms can survive for millennia in the right conditions.Each hay bacillus bacterium can store two megabits — the equivalent of 1.6 million Roman letters. The scientists can take out the microscopic implants in a laboratory and read them so they appear as ordinary text."

I suddenly imagine a bunch of people no longer showering to increase their hard drive space. HII-OH!
