Well I certainly hope so! Because if you haven’t damaged your DNA today, you must be dead!
After all, our DNA gets damaged approximately 1 million times per day. I am wondering what it is I did to damage my DNA a million times yesterday and what I will hopefully do today also. Is there some advantage to DNA damage? Suppose I take a real easy day and only damage my DNA 500,000 times, by, say, staying in bed all day? Would that be better or worse? If I am really damaging my DNA a lot, am I having more fun than if I am not? I am thinking it ties in with fun. The more fun you have, the more DNA damage you get.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m off to damage some DNA! Be back in a bit!
