Cool, TJ! One question: will #1 remain in a helix shape without being held in
it? If a design would statically remain as a ladder or a helix, I would think
that it would make a *great* set for TLC to produce! (not the *whole* DNA
strand, mind you;-) I'd know I'd buy one for my kids and all of their
cousins...
