This only makes sense if you also dig out Jim Morrison or Janis Joplin

Ozzy Osbourne is to become one of the few people in the world to have their full genome sequenced. Apparently, scientists are curious why he is still alive at 61 after decades of record-breaking alcohol and drug abuse.

People, can you say "control group?" Ozzy's genome won't tell us much unless it's compared with the genomes of people whose substance abuse was on par with Ozzy's but who did not survive it.

  1. How to substantiate record-breaking alcohol and drug use, though? Outlandish behavior, sure.
