At least one quarter of the DNA in your cells repeatedly encodes a single enzyme: reverse transcriptase, a relic of co-evolution with retroviruses. |

James Earl Jones had such a severe stutter that, for eight years (age 6-14), he refused to talk and was functionally mute. |

My memory of MICR 301....
But a quick investigation reveals my memory confused. Over 30% of our genome is retroposed sequences, but only 14% of that is LINEs, each of which encodes a reverse transcriptase. Nevertheless, that's a hell of a lot.

Richard Burton was nominated for 7 oscars, but never won. |
Tangetally related:
Late in his career, Richard Burton had a clause in his contracts which stipulated that he was not to be shot in close up before 11 am, or after 4pm. The reason was that before 11 am, he was too hungover, and after 4pm, too drunk. [100% true!} |
