class without knowing what he was talking about. Well, he did know what he was talking about, since he spent most of his time talking about his time on the Oklahoma City police force. And we learned a lot about scary VDs, except how to catch them.

98% of mutations are not fatal, as I have understood it -- most are simply 'non-beneficial'. Of course, most natural miscarriages could be the result of fatal mutations, and I don't know how that affects the totals. But 98% non-beneficial means, reasoning it out, that 2% of mutations are beneficial, and that would be a huge number. I actually doubt the number is even that high, considering the billions of permutations that would involve in even a single year.
