In basic biology you learned that when Griffith put noninfectious live pneumonia and infectious dead pneumonia bacteria together, the live cells became infectious. In more advanced biology classes, you learn how and why that happened, and other methods to introduce foreign genetic material into live bacterial cells. Some of the poll choices are not viable methods, of course.

I prefer electroporation myself, it has the highest success rate.

If you play really [poop] music next to water and then freeze it, the crystals it forms are ugly as sin. If you play Beethoven or mozart, the patterns are beautiful. Of course, it all may be foolishness. Like this poll.

LOL. Whatever. And that crystal thing seems like a total joke to me. He was never able to reproduce his results when there were actually people there.
