LOL - Sarah Palin, protien match for fuckeliana fungus!
A truly stupid and geeky bit of nonsense:

"
There does not appear to be a perfect match in the NCBI NR protein database. But take a close look at the #1 scoring hit. That is right, it is from and organism called Botryotinia fuckeliana. No comment on the appropriateness of this name, but it does contain a term I will probably use a lot if she gets elected."

He goes on to show she is descended from a parasite. LOL

(MODS: The name is based on mycologist, Karl Wilhelm Gottlieb Leopold Fuckel.)
