Is the basis of biology not chemistry?

Yep. That, too. Eventually the conditions become unfavorable for one set
of reactions, and another set takes over, which ...
... So, really, life is just one on-going chemical reaction. ;)

That reminds me of something I read recently, dealing with parallelism,
neural nets, and brains. They did scans of someone's brain as it was
working. What was interesting was when something new was perceived, it
would start as chaos, then eventually settle into a pattern of neurons
firing. All of the processing that happens is massively parallel. I wish
I could remember all of the details involved, but it was a fascinating
document.

Helpful housekeeping hints:
Check your feather pillows for holes
before putting them in the washing machine.
