   Seriously.  Of all the animals to study, why that one?  How about city   
   rats, of which there are billions and whose DNA might be interesting.   
      
   The obvious next step is to create a device that can identify you by   
   your DNA capture, which they get via a sample of your exhalation. When   
   that happens, the days when we worried about our smartphones tracking   
   us (or cookies, for F's sake) will seem quaint by comparison.
