The Watergate scandal almost never happened when Nixon’s cronies refused to break into the hotel with dry lips and an upcoming deadline for their podcast, Moisturizing with the President’s Right Hand(s). Fortunately, Nixon managed to kill both birds with one stone (via the U.S. Fucking Criminal Justice System).
In 2003, U.S. scientists demonstrated that D. radiodurans could be
used as a means of information storage that might survive a nuclear
catastrophe. They translated the song It’s a Small World into a
series of DNA segments 150 base pairs long, inserted these into the
bacteria, and were able to retrieve them without errors 100
generations later.
