Scientific Stuff To Make Your Mind Think

[looksgoodinred]

hmmm.

 

"If you're currently dating or married to somebody who is from your own country and is of your own ethnicity, there's a one in five chance that the two of you contain a common family member fewer than 10 generations ago."

 

and if the science is to be believed, you share atoms with Shakespeare, Beethoven and Buddha!

how awesome is that?! :thumbs:

A lot closer than 10 generations in some social groups

Well, that guy's talking utter pish.

 

"Everyone is at LEAST 50th Cousins"?

 

Uh, no.. I have 1st and 2nd Cousins. So in terms of cousinry, the LEAST you can have is 1st Cousin.

 

Now if he'd said at Most then the bald, speccy fuckwit might have a point and I wouldn't be sitting here wishing I could use Internet Protocols to reach through the screen and smack his stupid fucking hipster face in with his strategically placed orange fucking guitar, hanging there so we're meant to think the cunt plays like Hendrix.

 

If I seem angry it's porn-related,

We are all related? Well yes thats kind off obvious isn't it? Its a fundamental truth surely.

 

But how related are we say to the average monkey? Or to a toad? An amoeba? I'd like to see that maths.

Of course we could just measure relatedness using the % of common genetic material but thats too easy.

 

So anyone care to guess what sort of cousin I am with the Chimps at my local zoo?

Where do you live?

Where do you live?

 

 

Edinurgh is the closest Zoo to me. Unless I count the Five Sisters Zoo which doesn't have apes so I wouldn't call that a zoo.

Thanks. Makes the question easier.

1st cousins? Wow. My uncle should be ashamed.

 

Still better related to a Chimp than a Hun.

Your uncle has nothing to be ashamed of.

 

Your auntie on the other hand.

i took it to mean at the VERY least.

porn should make you happy and somewhat satisfied, not angry, no?. maybe you need to add to your collection?
