Each card has a unique message:

• Thank you: “Grazie, thank you, merci, gracias, danke. “Single nucleotide polymorphisms” are wrapped around the double helix.
• Thank you: Muchas gracias, thank you very much, merci beaucoup. Tiny life forms evolved billions of years ago thanks to the invention of RNA and DNA.
• Happy birthday: Happy sequential birthday! Unlike the numerical sequence of our birthday, our DNA is written as a series of letters — ATCG. Everyone’s sequence is unique.
• Happy birthday: Happy Birthday! You’re not old! Consider the creatures from the Cambrian Era that lived 540 million years ago. What a bunch of fossils!
• Sympathy card: “Condolences, memories, sincere compassion for your loss.”
• Congratulations! New Baby! “The beginning of life on our planet started in the ocean 3.5 billion years ago. Molecules combined, replicated, and tiny life forms were born.”
