High School Student Injects The Book Of Genesis Into His Body

A student has injected himself with the Book of Genesis and the surah Ar-Ra'd (part of the Qur'an) because he "wondered whether it would be possible".

Adrien Locatelli, a high school student in Grenoble, France, decided to inject himself with several religious texts.

"Recent studies have reported that it is possible to convert any type of information into DNA for the purpose of storage," he wrote, publishing his initial results on the Open Science Framework.

"Since it is possible to convert digital information into DNA, I wondered whether it would be possible to convert a religious text into DNA and to inject it in a living being."

Seems like a good origin story for a religious superhero.

    Seems like a good origin story for a religious superhero.

    Look! Up in the sky! It a turd! It's a pain! What, it's not even an imaginary sky fairy? No! It's Stuporman!

    Yes, it Stuporman, spreading moronity and ignorance throughout the planet! Injected in a mad anti-science experiment, his veins pulse with 100% pure ballox. Superpowers include the ability to shoot shit from his mouth at fatal speeds, makes people believe whatever he want by waiving an old book, and can grow extra penises instantaneously! He uses these powers to prevent scientific advancement, which is always evil, by ripping out people's brains and raping children. His only weakness is common sense, a very rare substance from his home world.

    Stuporman is joined in his quest by his sidekick Ultra-Consumertard man, who during the day is a mild mannered cell phone salesman, but at night shines blindingly with the power of over a million implanted blue LEDs! He doesn't really... uh.. have any superpower other than blinding people, but, you know, blue LEDs are cool, so idiots like him, and it makes Stuporman look really cool.
