ResumoMy funny ValentineWhat do you get your sweetie for Valentine's Day? Flowers didn't cut it last year, and candy seems trite (especially when eating American chocolate).Have no fear; the cracked staff at Nature Genetics has compiled a list of alternative gifts for the genetophile that will really get your special someone's heart pumping.♥ He didn't like the cologne you got him last year?Nothing says "I love you" like a home paternity test kit.Several companies sell the kits online, so shop around for a good deal.♥ Did you secretly find it romantic that Angelina Jolie wore a vial of Billy Bob Thornton's blood around her neck?Go high tech and have your DNA sequence incorporated into a piece of art or jewelry by DesigNAgift.)(http://www.designagifts.com)♥ You say she's the spiritual type; try David Hulse's DNA Activation tapes or his newer series, 12-Strand DNA Activation."In addition to the two-strand double-helix of DNA, there are 10 strands (five-pairs) that are 'virtual,' or not fully physically manifested, and need to be activated into our third-dimensional physical framework."(http://www.lightwithin.com)♥ If music is his bag, we might suggest creating a romantic mood with one of several available CDs bearing tunes at least partially composed by translating DNA sequence into musical notes.)(http://www.dnamusiccentral.com)We've also previously detailed a whole host of other DNA gifts (see TOUCHINGbase in our March 2002 issue).And remember, there is always the option of a greeting card and a year of guilt.
