I sense a great science fiction story in here somewhere, about the aliens who messed with our DNA (making us sentient) having some creative writers amongst them who couldn't resist leaving a lo-o-o-o-o epic poem for earthlings some day to decode, should our brain DNA work out as planned, and should we ever focus our attention on the Paris japonica.

All that "junk" DNA that they say is making Paris japonica's genome so long but which has no function is actually a sort of "blank verse," such as Shakespeare employed, which, when translated, means, essentially, after all the pointless wars that the aliens almost didn't survive, and all the exploits of all the pointless war heroes, meeting cyclops and sirens on their pointless journeys home: "Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

Yup. Joke's on us.
