Read my webcomic: http://kanirabaxter.comicgenesis.com/ Visit the BionicDance store: http://www.cafepress.com/bionicdance Twitter: http://twitter.com/BionicDance Some have been wondering why we seem to care more about Draw Mohammad Day when, at the same time, scientists are creating artificial life in the laboratory. My hypothesis is that science seems, to many, to be the province of nerds and eggheads who speak in technical terms which the rest of us find difficult to understand, while Draw Mohammad Day is EXCITING, with drama and humor and just a hint of danger. Draw Mohammad Day is accessible, something we can ALL participate in and understand, which much of science requires extra education. Until and unless science can make itself seem more attractive to the layman, I think it'll always be relegated to the 'Nerds Only' part of most peoples' brains.
