It's just beautiful, isn't it? It's just mesmerizing. It's double hel-exciting!You really can tell, just by looking at it, how important and amazing it is.It's pretty much the most complicated molecule that exists, and potentially the most important one.It's so complex that we didn't even know for sure what it looked likeuntil about 60 years ago.So multifariously awesome that if you took all of it from just one of our cells and untangled it,it would be taller than me.Now consider that there are probably 50 trillion cells in my body right now.Laid end to end, the DNA in those cells would stretch to the sun.Not once...but 600 times!Mind blown yet?Hey, you wanna make one? (oh dear god)Of course you know I&#...
