I AM BRILLIANT!

The title of the movie Gattaca (which is basically about genetically modified superhumans and what it's like not to be one) is – get this, get this – is made up entirely out of the four letters which stand for the four kinds of molecules that make up the genetic code! ACGT!

(I'm sure thousands of people know this already but ... COOOOL!)

I'll add two little bits of trivia:

The P.A. announcements in the office are spoken in Esperanto. Or so I've been told.

If you watch the credits the letters g, a, t and c are set in a different typeface. I thought that was a nice little touch.

Hey! That's EXTRA cool!

I saw a bus shelter poster once that looked like it was written in Esperanto ... but it might have been part of a movie set so I don't know if that counts.

I must admit I only saw about 3/4 of the movie when it was on TV once, but what I saw was really really good. I ought to check it out now that it's on my mind...
