Regarding "CDNA" - along with DNA programmers fixing DNA "bugs", there will be DNA hackers creating stuff that, well, is going to get big time attention.

P.S. Ray Kurzweil will be in San Diego in January, discussing "Spiritual Machines", something I plan to attend.

Mysterious Object Lands in Dam

SYDNEY (Reuters) - Is it a UFO, space junk, a meteorite or simply frozen
sewage? Whatever it turns out to be a mysterious flying object has landed in an
Australian country dam, leaving a large crater, and sunk beneath the mud.

Air tests around the dam found no radioactivity, but water supplies from the dam to
the nearby town of Guyra have been cut.

Police have also erected a one-mile no go zone around the dam, as curious
locals and scores of media descend on the sleepy town of Guyra, 250 miles north
of Sydney.

``At this stage we don't really know what the object is,' said a police spokesman at
Guyra. ``It has made a significant depression in the floor of the dam.'

The mysterious object, which landed sometime between Monday and
Wednesday, has left a 50-foot-long and 20-foot wide crater. The object appears to
have hit the dam at about 45 degrees and skidded before sinking.

Theories of what the object is ranged from a meteorite to frozen sewage jettisoned
from an aircraft. But most ruled out a UFO or space junk.
