Theta Tea

Okay I know it's only because I just read about it a few chapters back... But seriously - my tea leaves formed the theta structure of the bidirectional replication of a circular chromosome!
(Or I guess you could say they formed the Greek letter theta, but I think a chromosome is more fun)

Naturally, by the time I took the picture it had already moved around a bit, but I'm telling you it looked really precise!
See it? If you look really close??
Well I thought it was awesome...

Oh the thrills of studying all day!
