Science Mutating

Posted by Jonathan Golob on Tue, Nov 25, 2008 at 3:47 PM

Let's do an experiment together! Copy the following into the comments of this post:

CCR is short for chemokine receptor. Chemokines and chemokine receptors allow the cells in your immune system to speak to one another; their epic fight against invaders is like a game of Marco Polo. CCR5 is the chemokine receptor found on macrophages—the gobbling-up cells at the front line of your immune system.

No cheating by using the computer's copy/paste function, please!

Why? The answer is here.

CCR is short for chemokine receptor. Chemokines and chemokine receptors allow cells in your immune system to speak to one another; their epic fight against invaders is like a game of Marco Polo. CCR5 is the chemokine receptor found in the macrophages-the gobbling-up cells at the front of the line in your immune system.

JG,
Is there any way to know if one has this CCR5 mutation deal? In other words, can one confirm they are naturally immune to the HIV?

CCR is short for Creedence Clearwater Revival. Creedence Clearwater Revival was from the late 1960s and early 1970s. They had many fine songs and many of them were hits. However their finest song, "Ramble Tamble" from the album Cosmo's Factory, rarely receives radio airplay.

Bush is the most pro-chemokine receptor president we have ever had. America needs to stand strong with chemokine receptors now.

CCR is short for chemokine receptor. Chemokines and chemokine receptors allow the cells in your immunie system to speak to one another; their epic fight against invaders is like a game of Marco Polo. CCR5 is the chemokine receptor found on macrophages -- the gobling-up cells at the front line of your immune system.

I think 77, who mentioned the Milgraam experiment, is on the right track. The real experiment here is to determine what percentages of slog commenters:

1. complied, by attempting to duplicate the paragraph (whether accurately or not)

2. refused to comply, and by which method:
A. making subtle changes on purpose
B. making obvious changes
C. making comments on how the experiment should have been run.

I haven't counted - that's Jonathan's job - but my impression is that group 1 is bigger than group 2, and that does surprise me.

However, this experiment doesn't reveal another division which I would find interesting:

1.A. people who genuinely complied and retyped the paragraph

1.B. people who cut and pasted - wanting to appear compliant, but taking advantage of an untraceable way to cheat.

CCR is short for critical Chomsky reader. Criticism and Chomsky readers allow the overly intellectual dudes in your social circle to speak to one another; their epic fight against vernacular discourse is like a game of cultural imperialism. CCR5 is the Chomsky receptor found on macroneurons - the gobbling-up cells in overly brainy dudes on the fringe of your social circle.
