ScienceCommons $455 Richer Thanks To The DNA Of Internet Celebrities

ScienceCommons $455 Richer Thanks To The DNA Of Internet Celebrities

The 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 …

We kept the auction period for this ScienceCommons fundraiser to a crisp 3 days. ROFLDNA has done well thus far. Thanks to breadpig’s friends at Laughing Squid, ROFLCon, and all the wonderful people on the Twitter, we’re looking to send a nice check to a very worthy organization.

Bidding ends tomorrow (April 9th) …

ROFLDNA Has Arrived! (And It’s Glorious)

The breadpig couldn’t be more pleased. This DNA artwork will be a handsome addition to someone’s desk, mantle, or dinner table. The designers at DNA11 did a great job synthesizing meme-master DNA and style it with their signatures.

Bidding will start on Monday, April 6.
