ScienceCommons $455 Richer Thanks To The DNA Of Internet Celebrities

| Apr 10, 2009 | 3 comments

rofldna-successThe auction got another bump from ScienceCommons before bidding ended this afternoon at $455. I trust they’ll enjoy the ROFLDNA.

This is breadpig’s second ROFL-success (last year’s ROFLaptop contest ended at $521 raised for OLPC) but this one-of-a-kind-DNA-artwork was the idea of Erik Martin, reddit community manager, troublemaker, and member of the breadpig honor guard. And the folks at DNA11 were all-stars for accommodating our rather unorthodox request — delivering a gorgeous final product.

Also, we couldn’t have done it without the great folks of ROFLCON and of course, our fabulous DNA-donating Internet celebrities:

Thank you. The breadpig salutes you.
