Doom doom doom doom doom

Grrr i wrote this all up, and then stupid blogger forgot to save it :(

Anyhoo, i'm doomed. We're all doomed. Why? Because according to this New York Times article, 70% of our weight is determined by our genes. Not that surprising a conclusion, but what was particularly impactful was reading about how overweight people who had dieted themselves to normal weights, displayed physical and emotional symptoms akin to starvation (!!!!). That's kinda scary. Yet H asked a good question : if that is the case, why is America getting fatter and fatter? I have no answer to that, cos the logical answer would also be the scariest one. That artificial food can overwhelm even the power of our genes....

I read a lot of NY Times. That includes a recent article about duck phalluses. Apparently, some ducks can grow phalluses every year (that's dicks, for us plebian folks) as long as their body? Why? Well, because female ducks have extremely long and twisty oviducts. That's to prevent extremely amorous males from raping them and fertilising their eggs against their will. Their maze-like oviducts enable them to shunt the sperm of the male ducks away into little pockets. Whatever you do, don't piss off mother evolution.... I sent the article to Grace, who scolded me, cos she was thinking of having duck rice.

My brain is a garbage can. I remember articles about weight gain, duck phalluses, you name it, i remember it. The other day, someone was talking about India, and i basically talked about this article i'd read about the labor shortage in India as a result of the poor educational landscpae there. Someone asked me how i knew so much about India.... if only they knew it was cos my brain is like a flytrap when it comes to strange titibits like India's labor situation. And yet, i get lost all the time, and i often have to ask someone 5-10 times before i remember their name.

On a separate note, i've gotten used to spending 30 min driving in my car. Argh! It is true thought that your quality of life goes up. Just having someowhere to put your shoes so you can go running whenever you like, is awesome.

Car = awesome, Ajantis = priceless ;)
