Sometimes when you are reading a biochemistry textbook it sounds like a sci-fi fantasy: "Kinesin, like myosin, is a relatively large protein (with a molecular mass of 380 kD) and has two large globular heads and a coiled coil tail domain. Each 100 angstrom long head consists of an 8-stranded beta sheet flanked by 3 alpha helices on each side and includes a Tubulin-binding site and a nucleotide-binding site. The light chains, situated at the opposite end of the protein, bind to proteins in the membrane shell of a vesicle. The vesicle and its contents become kinesin's cargo."

I just got a text message on my ceLL phone saying there was an Amber Alert in my area BUT it didn't give me any pertinent information, so that was an Amber Alert Alert. This is an Amber Alert Alert Alert because it is alerting you that I was alerted that there was an alert without any real alert info. My s'ggestion is to watch the news later.

We are headed into a store walking across a cold wintry parking lot and enter the shadow of the building. The wife is in a merry mood and has been humming some tune when her throat suddenly makes a strange unadorable noise just before we reach the door. I am slightly behind her and could have possibly heard something wrong, so I ask, "What was THAT?!?!?" - and she laughed and said, "I suddenly yawned"
(it is 5 PM - who yawns at 5 PM in mid song?) so ... I thought for a second, and asked her, "So, ... you were yaw-ny-ing?" with three distinct syllables.

It takes a better man than me to read a biochemistry textbook, that will only ever happen in a work of science fiction.
An unspecified Amber alert sounds very curious, and I am now curious to know who, what, why . . . or as it is known in biochemistry terms The W3 Complex......
:-)
Thank you for having alerted me to the alert.
And now I am off, to alert my colleagues...

The beauty of reading a biochemistry textbook without knowing any science or trying or better yet if you didn't even know that science eXisted, it would tend to read like a Lord of the Rings, or in this case, Lord of the Benzene Rings journey. What would have made the Amber to the fourth power more eXciting would be for the current missing person to be named Amber, but a lass, she was not.
Wow! You gave me TWO smiley faces two-day! Hope you had a wonderful holly jolly time period that was tree-mound-ously fun, fiLLed with kitty siLLy ness. When it gets reaLLy cold here, I think about your iced box shaped Minnesota, so that would be today and tomorrow, so that may mean when it warms up nicely on Friday I may (accidentaLLy) completely forget you, and I wiLL be wandering around mumbling, "Pearl who?". I forgot to ask my momma if she got your book, I hope to visit her soon so I should get to see it.
