Is DNA analogous to human language?

What do you think? I don't think it's a very good analogy, because any way you could shuffle the so-called letters of DNA, they form a meaningful world and a corresponding meaningful part on another strand.
This is not like written language at all. The closest it would get is writing a sentence on a piece of paper and checking if it's the same backwards in a mirror, then noticing it's not always the same backwards in the mirror.

Not really. Rather, if protiens are the building blocks of life, then DNA & RNA is more akin to a blueprint.-
That makes more sense to me. I fail to see how a spam generator has anything to say about DNA.
Except of course if the spam followed some kind of genetic algorithm.

Well, no Slayer vinyl yet but thankfully a few comments.
Though I'd really like some Slayer vinyl.
