Well, thanks to info gleaned from an ABC podcast (broadcast Monday 24 November) called the Health Report I learned about an entirly new application for 23 things. 23 Chromosomes - that's how many each human has.
This site offers online genome mapping. Want to know if you're predisposed to any one of a range of scary diseases? Simple spit and test will tell you. apparently you can have 'spit parties'.
Ties in nicely with Googles new service offering online registering of medical records doesn't it. And guess what! One of the founders of 23andMe is married to a Google boss and founder. Talk about keeping it in the family!
