        At least it’s trademarked by a guy that wants to protect it and not a corporation that would sue anyone who uses it.

        I definitely don’t think it should be able to be trademarked at all though.

    My dad saw this painted on a sidewalk recently and was really curious what it meant. He was disappointed I think to hear it was just a “cool S” so maybe I’ll send him this comic!

    Doodled by someone in their brain on lsd is what I heard. The l double helix I think it was.

    But yes all children draw this S everywhere in the world for no reason.

    The double helix depicted in the comic twists the wrong way (inverted chirality).

    Randall, I’m disappointed in you :)

    DNA is a double helix. The image bottom right shows only a single helix. For a double helix, think of a rollercoaster riding the track. There needs to be 2 rails going around for the rollercoaster to attach to.

        But it’s not. Most people think DNA and the double helix look this this look like this

        But that a common misconception. A true double helix (and DNA) look like this look like this (second)

        I know this cause I have a DNA tattoo looking like the first one and have been corrected once or twice haha

          if it’s on the left side of your body, get a correctified version on your right side. Then you can show them the right one if they point out it’s wrong.

        Yeah, ok I see it now. I was looking at it as a thick bar on the outside where that could be better viewed as a double line.
