My how things have\u00a0<strong>changed<\/strong>\u00a0in the past 8 weeks! So much has happened, I don&#8217;t know where to begin!

This is\u00a0<strong>very<\/strong>\u00a0interesting! As you can imagine, the repercusions of this on a genetic and scientific level are quite staggering&#8230; I&#8217;ve been pondering the possibilities for weeks now! For as long as we&#8217;ve been cognizant, my brothers and I have thought that we were unique unto this world&#8230; so meeting Venus was quite stunning to say the least! The concept of propagating our species has gone from impossible to plausible&#8230; although what types of genetic mutations might occur from our corrupted gene pool is unknown at this time. I suspect that with a few hours of programming I can come up with something that will give us at least a simulated version of any offspring that we may have. Tests will have to be run first however. I&#8217;ve spent many hours working with the DNA structures of Leo and the lads, so it will be fascinating to see how Venus&#8217; cells are similar to our own. The differences will be key. I&#8217;ve got so much to do! This is really, really\u00a0<strong>beyond<\/strong>\u00a0mind boggling!<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I haven&#8217;t talked to Venus about this yet&#8230; this is a difficult subject to bring up. I must admit that I&#8217;m a bit embarrassed by it. However, the science of the matter is overwhelmingly exciting! I&#8217;ll have to wait until Venus is completely comfortable in her new surroundings. She&#8217;s had a rough time of it lately, and I don&#8217;t want her to feel like a guinea pig for some bizarre tests. I don&#8217;t know&#8230; I&#8217;m extremely impatient to start, but I know that science sometimes comes off as cold and insulting, so I have to calm down and wait until the time is right. Argh!<\/p>\n<p>Good grief&#8230; I&#8217;ve got so many things to do! I can&#8217;t concentrate on anything else at the moment! Thanks for dropping by! I&#8217;m off to start writing some code. Things are going to get\u00a0<strong>very<\/strong>\u00a0interesting!<\/p>\n<p><center>Take care!<br \/>\nDon<\/center>This letter was featured on NinjaTurtles.com and written by Dan Berger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Salutations Cyberfriend!
