You can have the Harmony DNA test at 10 weeks and it detects 3 different chromosomal problems, two of which are a death sentence. I didn't have it because I was very low risk and my nuchal translucency test came back at 1 in 20k likelihood of a problem, but otherwise I would have had it and terminated if needed.

Did they test for the likelihood of the baby becoming a BigFooty mod? Many people would want to know this I reckon.

Had a friend who did the same. His surname was a foreign mouthful and she was one of only daughters who wanted to continue the name. Doesn't affect anyone else, he got a better name out of it.

Utter and complete rubbish

This doesn't really disprove what he said though.

In the case of octopus/squid/cuttlefish, the cells in the skin react to the environment around them without any conscious effort from the animals. I think chameleons are similar.

But it is tough to guess at the 'consciousnes' of other animals, especially animals that are so different from mammals.

I don't think its caught up to the 80s yet, apart from the revhead favourite VL. A mate has a VK Brock Commodore and I've seen them go for under 50k despite being much more premium and limited. My HQ will be fetching half, maybe more, than that with a new paint job despite being a regular stock vehicle for it's time.

I wonder if it will, then on to 90s models... Something I'll be watching out for.

Check out the prices for a early model Monaro...yikes

One day I will have a HG Monaro...one day *sobs*
