A knockout mouse is a genetically engineered mouse one or more of whose genes have been made inoperable. Knockout is a route to learning about a gene that has been sequenced but has an unknown or incompletely known function. (The general process of knocking out genes is explained in the article on gene knockout.)

To understand the depth of this praise, we recall the fundamental identity relating God and Holiness:

God Theos

= 284 =

Holy Hagios

Thus, "Holy, Holy, Holy" is numerically equivalent to "God, God, God." Yet there is more. The fundamental Hebrew word meaning "three, threefold, triple" is (Shalash, S# 8027).

Dark & Light

I am dark and light
A hundred men's might
Can't set me upright
And gone at night.
I follow you round,
Making no sound.
When clouds abound
I cannot be found.

Bright Light

I'm a bright light
And a beautiful sight.
You can only wish upon me at night.

Shared With Two

Shared with two from mouth to ear.
Shared with three I disappear.

Red Backpack

My backpack is red
Face down I am dead
Nothing above me but clear blue sky
And nobody around me so how did I die ?
