Craig Venter, the Chuck Norris of molecular biology

One morning, when I was in class for Genomics, a phrase the professor went through the raging tides of my mind abstracted to bring me what would become the germ of the post you have before your eyes. The sentence in question was "Craig Venter has sequenced his own genome." For those who have not grasped the parallel moment, the structure is identical to the phrases "Chuck Norris has the heart of a child. In a glass jar on his desk. "This led to raised me that if anyone deserves the title" the Chuck Norris of Molecular Biology " that is Craig Venter (yes, the sequencing of the human genome, which is by boat, collecting organisms of the seas). From there the rest is obvious, so here's a collection of facts and feats of the heavy weight of science, compiled with the help of Dr. Litos veterans and Banchsinger .

NOTE: from the start I encourage any reader to contribute in the comments with the phrases that come to mind, no matter that seem outlandish or absurd, as Craig Venter is all encompassing. The most original will be sent to the above, see if you are lucky and we file for your lab.
