When I was in junior high, I tried to send my DNA to Cindy Crawford through the mail. But, as usual, Stephen Colbert's got me beat. He's sending his DNA into space. Here's hoping he doesn't get a cease and desist like I did.
In October, video game designer Richard Garriott will travel to the station and deposit Colbert's genes for an "Immortality Drive."
"I am thrilled to have my DNA shot into space, as this brings me one
step closer to my lifelong dream of being the baby at the end of 2001,"
Colbert said in a statement, referring to the 1968 landmark science fiction film "2001: A Space Odyssey."
…
"In the unlikely event that Earth and humanity are destroyed, mankind
can be resurrected with Stephen Colbert's DNA," Garriott said in a
statement. "Is there a better person for us to turn to for this
high-level responsibility?"
After the jump, Stephen interviews Professor Lee Silver about cloning and genetic engineering.

Dear Mr Chuck,
What do you mean by "jack off" you insolent young puppy?
Surely you are not suggesting that the upright, and courageously pure, Mr S T Colbert is going to have to perform some kind of onanistic ritual to supply his DNA! Gazooks!
I've come over all of a tremble. I can feel a fit of the vapours coming on. Help! Where are my smelling salts?
Stephen,
I always wondered what your desk looks like from behind.
Any insights?

That is so cool i have to see that movie now
stephen: how are you getting your dna? jacking off on your show into a bottle?
I think we should keep the DNA and strap his ass to a rocket and shoot him into space. On second thought, if you shot an empty space into another empty space, won't it still be an empty space.
Anyway, we could send the DNA to a landfill, unless that is, we find it is hazardous waste which it certainly might be.
