From: "James St. John-Pynchon" 

Carved in mystic runes upon the very living rock, the last words of Eric
Perlin of alt.fan.monty-python make plain:

> In the opening song to "Monty Python's The Meaning of Life", is DNA
> mentioned in the lyrics? It sounds like it, but was DNA technology
> known when the movie was made? If not, what does the song say that
> sounds like "DNA"?

My god, you're right! At the time TMoL was made, medical science had barely
progressed beyond leeches and bloodletting, but here are the Python boys
singing about DNA way, way back in 1983! They were so ahead of their time!
Watson, Crick and Wilkins must have stolen the idea from them.

Almost everything around us was invented just yesterday, after all.
