I just heard about a very cool thing. Apparently, the genetic codes of the human genome and the pumpkin genome are 75% the same! Seventy-five percent! And pumpkins are awesome! (One reference for this is a slightly old article from The Atlantic Monthly.) Of course, I suspect that for some of us this figure is only a lower bound.
