Curious Questions Queries and Quandries

Welcome to the newest re-occurring segment of brain goo. This segment will follow in the footsteps of random contests and quotations of the day. Keep in mind that this is an audience-participation piece, so please, do comment and enjoy.
So, what is it?
This is a place where the oddest of questions, the most obscure queries, and the most random of quandries are posed. they will reach beyond basic trivia into the world of the scientific and beyond to the theological.
Today's inquiry involves DNA.
Do the chemicals added to chlorinated pools alter the DNA structure of the biological residue left by the swimmers? I.E: Would you be able to swab a pool and come out with viable DNA samples?

I wonder about these things ...

Let me know what you think... Anything will do!

Supercilious = "Super" + "Silly" + "Us"

So I have noticed something about education ... specifically from my liberal arts degree ... but it is a general observation about the rewards and punishments of education and life in general. People are rewarded for extra-curricular activities. In high school you do them for credit, or scholarships, or popularity, etc. In University you do it for schaolarships, or resumes. Either way, you are rewarded for busting your ass doing something that you may or may not like to do and thus, you end up being exhausted all the time. Society rewards people who work 18 hour days .... more time = more money ... and again, you spend your whole life being exhausted. What the crap is up with that?? What ever happened to being calm, taking your time, and doing the things that make you the happiest? Why burn yourself out by grade 12 so that when you get to college all you have left are the ends of your neurons because you fried them all with glue guns and sparkle paint! WHY WHY WHY??
lol that is all

This is what I have come up with lately:

I realized this while I was listening to the radio on Wednesday morning. The happiest person in the world would be the lonliest because truely happy people are incappable of small talk. I have been noticing this more and more. I really don't have a lot to complain about and thus, there isnt a lot of small talk to be made. Small talk is generally composed of complaints about the weather, health, superficial politics, etc. And frankly, I am more or less content with all of the above; and I have a general rule about not discussing politics with people I dont know very well.

I forgot how addictive tv is. I think there should be Public health warnings before you turn it on; "Warning: using this device may cause increeased apathy, desire to procrastinate, and decreased homework production. Thank-You" Then your show would commence. If you are gonna do it, at least be aware of the risks! HA! lol

For those of you who haven't heard, my new favorite place in "the city of champions" is a little restaurant downtown on Jasper and 109st. It has a huge sign in front with asian characters printed. On a small sign beside it, there is an english translation. The name is "CHILI HOT HOT"... Yes, this is my new favorite place.

Karaoke is back at scholars and I couldnt be happier. I just wish I could stay later... but drama calls me wednesday mornings much earlier than I would like. Come one. come all because it is the best karaoke in the university area lol.

Well, it is time to feed the cat, and myself I suppose lol
