That's not the bitcoin address listed on the wikileaks website. The only mention of the address was on bitcoin-charity.info where it was connected to wikileaks but that's now offline. Seems suspicious that only one website had that address listed.
Edit: From the 'wikileaks' account listed on bitcoin-charity.info 150btc each were sent to 2 other addresses listed on that site. An african charity 'Amani Kinderdorf' and a 'Nonprofit Recycling and Exchange Network'. It seems like (though the charities are real) the bitcoin links are not related to them and bitcoin-charity.info was a scam site.

This was either planned or well handled by the radio station, announce a suspension to generate news and traffic to their website, get people talking about it on facebook, and the DJs were back on the air on Wednesday.
It's almost more of a prank on news outlets which will repeat any non-story.
>the portions of the genome that don't actually code for genes are full of interesting stuff.
Thats true, but if you estimate that 2% of the genome is genes, perhaps a further 1% is regulatory elements and catalytic RNA. That still leaves a heck of a lot of 'junk'.
