Hahaha, WHAT!?  I HAVE SONIC IN MY BODY!

"Lower levels of Sonic hedgehog induce the expressions of a homo gene"

This needs updating, they haven't noticed all the recent new 3D Sonic games!

Sonic hedgehog is different from Sonic The Hedgehog.

Yeah, I remember hearing about this gene around the time they named it...but I forgot exactly why they named it so.

Biology/Pre-med...And I think self-judging your intelligence is in bad taste...

That's just something dumb people say.  Just like how ugly people say we should all be judged by what on the inside.

How do you judge smart? How do you judge ugly?

No matter how smart you are, there will be someone smarter, and there is always someone uglier.

On that note, asking someone who is taking Neurobiology if they are smart is like asking a Playboy cover girl if she's beautiful . . .

Just Googled the protein, came up with this:
