the marbled lungfish has 133 billion base pairs in its genome

 humans have about 6 billion pairs

why's this weird fish got more instructions on how to make itself than we do?

they can also grow to be 6 foot 5.

I'll never be 6' 5"

they also are most closely related to whatever first crawled out of the water and started being on land

they just believe in themselves so much, ya know. What's hiding in that genome? Dreams. Yearning. Striving. Like that code is ready for every scenario.

"What if me, the lungfish, is in Game 7 of the NBA finals with 2 seconds left and 45 year old Lebron James dishes the ball out to me to make the game winning three with my spaghetti like appendages?!"

The lungfish has genes for that. At the ready. It's 6' 5" and can live anywhere. Why not? Why not dare to dream?
