What was the first thing I did with my new camera phone? Get paranoid about my bald spot. Bad image quality due to me moving the camera slightly while it recorded. Maybe I'll put a set of clippers on my Christmas list, and hope people don't start rubbing my belly for good luck.
Note: Just in case someone came by before noon, I had a typo in the title. Mendel was the person who first studied heredity from a scientific point of view in the middle of the 19th Century. Mendeleev, who I had in there originally, was the Russian who assembled the first attempt at the periodic table of elements. In my defense, I was going off what I remembered from high school about 10 years ago, and the names are similar.
