This Be The Curse

by Balk posted @12:40 PM

Parents and childResearch suggests that our fathers' genetic material has a stronger effect on the development of our instinctual behaviors (eating and mating), while the higher-order cognitive abilities (language, socialization, etc.) are the result of a greater contribution from our mothers. So now you know who to blame, and for what. [Via]

    "Until I grew up I thought I hated everybody, but when I grew up I realized it was just children I didn't like. Once you started meeting grown-ups life was much pleasanter."

    So the desire to have sex comes from dad, but the ability to talk your way into getting it comes from mom. Cool.

    Man hands on misery to man, it deepens like a coastal shelf,
    Get out as early as you can, and don't have any kids yourself.

    As the product of a still-slim nerd and an eternally optimistic former cheerleader-turned-writer, I am not displeased by this news at all.
