DNA

I was poking around FoxNews.com, and I noticed an article regarding new DNA evidence that has been discovered in the JonBenet Ramsey murder investigation.

How often do you take a cup of coffee at the local cafe only to find the reddish-plum outline of a lower lip pasteled intimately on the mug? Does this lead to revulsion and near-hostile expression of disgust and disdain?
