Being the Continuing Adventures of a Woman and her Trusty Kayak in New York Harbor, the Hudson River, and Beyond.
(with occasional political rants just to keep things lively!)
Very clever. So much of it has the ring of truth and/or is actually copied from other accounts of genetic research, that when you quickly scan it you almost believe it on the first reading.
The appearance of truth is good enough for me. The author has done his best to construct a truthy-sounding argument, so why shouldn't I believe it? Who has time to check facts, today?
I used to read a lot of newspapers, books, and magazines to find out what was going on, but it's a lot easier to just listen to AM talk radio, where the hosts have done all the reading for me and can tell me what is true.
And if these brainy scientists are making up stuff about genes, they're probably making up all that stuff about climate change, too.
No, Genotopia, we thank you for offering a ray of hope! David, I think it's more like the LMAO gene! :D Baydog - done! - there's a spam filter & you'll get a snippy little email from a machine somewhere but if you just say something like "It's Baydog" in the reference line I'll see it. I'm dreadfully confused, btw, about when the honor of the naming of the art of cooking meat over a bed of coals got taken away from the French. I had always heard the "barbe a queue" think stated fairly confidently - but Wikipedia is always right so the guy who said "Take your pick. We don't know" must be less-truthy.
These towns that produce a lot of seafarers wouldn't be by the sea would they?
For the origin of BBQ you have to bread it down to its roots. You know how popular it is in the South. Bubba-queue is a just bunch of Bubbas lined up to get some.

Mystic University?
C. M. Ishmael?
4C?
Brilliant.
I wish I had dreamed this up myself.
It's great, isn't it?

Thanks Derek. My sentiments exactly. But I was too embarassed to admit it. Ishmael did ring a bell though. You look like someone I know.
Derek and Baydog, why are you embarrassed?

Wow. Stephen Colbert reads my blog?
I saw the prase "has tended to run in families" and in my mind read that as "has tended to ruin families".
Sailing widows?
MAOA-L gene? Does it come from Easter Island?
Yeah, and Stephen King too! Remember? What a dunce I am.
Bonnie, email me your email. I want to do lunch.
Heh, thanks for the strokes, folks!
