He is driving to Tennessee.
He got his oil changed and radiator flushed. He sent two items to Tennessee via fedex with these tracking numbers, "868322701268" and "869744129440". He purchased "Garmin MapSource 24K TOPO - National Parks" at REI so he could stay off of the radar. What has tipped me off to that as he purchased a flash memory card at Best Buy and then returned it because he didn't need it.
He isn't traveling alone as he spent $170 at a restaurant.
It should take him about 5 days to drive to Tennessee. But more than likely he will be taking a few extra days at the National parks. What a vacation if you ask me, all expenses paid.

Incorrect. The packages were shipped to DC and Memphis, respectively. http://bit.ly/17KWPG
DNA is already self replicable.
Do we then put it on another planet and see if it survives and evolves...
Meteorites, such as the Murchison meteorite have been found with organic matter. It contains amino acids as well as inorganic precursors that the Miller-Urey experiment proved could produce organic compounds.

The problem is that the Miller-Urey experiment was irreparably flawed from the get-go. Note that they used water, methane, ammonia, and hydrogen. They used chemical compounds that would give them the results they so desperately needed to bolster their claims that life could have arisen on its own. The experiment, so flawed, only shows that blasting a bunch of water, methane, ammonia, and hydrogen with several thousand volts will create a few amino acids. (Five, to be exact, out of twenty-two required for life to exist.) The other flaw in the experiment, and indeed the evolutionary theory as a whole, is the law of entropy. An argument can be made that there is proof in computers or cars or what-all that it's possible to get a more advanced thing as time passes, contrary to said law. There is a common factor in all of those things though. Can you guess? Yup, a human mind. A guiding intelligence, if you will. In case you haven't noticed yet, I do not adhere to the so-called "theory of evolution".
going to h t t p colon slash slash dot dot org doesn't inherently make me a "twit", as twitter does.

In other news...I've avoided Twitter like the plague it is. I don't even have text messaging on my cell phone. I cannot bring myself to degrade the English language in such a horrendous form as what is known as "leetspeak" or "textese." I can't compress a good, well-formed, rational opinion or thought into a 140-character bastardization of the original phrasing. Sorry.
