I'm a retard and screwed up. The correct sequence would be:

CCACUUUGA CGU AAUUAAAAACUC CCGCUUCUCUUU

Which give you (ProLeuSTOP) (ARG) (AsnSTOPLysLue) (ProLeuLeuPhe) Which doesn't make any sense to me. What's the freaking answer?

You may not have understood me, but I was speaking "technology." The word "technology" means "magic." It's basically anything that's really cool that you don't know how it works. And if it breaks, you have to buy a new one. Why, I've got some technology beneath my pants right now. Hyah! This is a diskette. Diskettes were invented by computers to help us, like how cows invented milk. The two warring factions of diskettes are floppy disks and hard disks. I prefer these big ones because they hold more memory, although you have to fold them up to fit them in these new computers. The other thing you'll need is your very own e-mail address. Just take your favorite hobby, add "kid," "grrrl," "pie" or "izzle," and then put a bunch of numbers at the end.

You suck. By the way, the strand you gave was in DNA, if it was transcribed it would have giving what I had said, but that wouldn't spell an insult now would it

. What you should have given is: CCACTTTGA CGT AATTAAAAACTC CCGCTTCTCTTT as a template, then the mRNA would have been the GGUGAAACU GCU UUAAUUUUUGAG GGCGAAGAGAAA, giving you the desired one letter initial's for the amino acids. Oh well, it gave me something to do, thanks I guess.

What I should have done was specify in the original post that that was the coding strand rather than the complimentary strand, or just done it in RNA. Details, details....

Oh well, the answer for everyone else is:
[(GGT)(GAA)(ACT)] [GCT] [(TTA)(ATT)(TTT)(GAG)] [(GGC)(GAA)(GAG)(AAA)]
[...G.....E......T..] [..A..] [..L.....I......F.....E...] [...G......E.....E......K..]

That being done, I will now open up the thread for all geek jokes in general. Let's hear 'em, my fellow nerds.

What? NOBODY has anything else? How about this?

Gerrold's Laws of Infernal Dynamics:

1) An object in motion will always be headed in the wrong direction.

2) An object at rest will always be in the wrong place.

3) The energy required to change either one of these states will always be more than you wish to expend, but never so much as to make the task totally impossible.

I think it's funny....
