Applying biology in our everyday lives

In the midst of the professor going on about how there's likely no escaping cancer if we have a family history of it, an acquaintance in today's BGYB11 lecture made my day by writing this on a Post-it note.

"If you want to be thin, go to Tokyo. Proven by Gause's principle of self-thinning."

Not exactly the most ecologically accurate since self-thinning may lead to greater growth, but it was a good laugh. Well, Hong Kong works too if Japan isn't your cup of tea.
