Yah. I felt like, just like, Einstein, when all those astronomers saw Venus (Mercury?) appear early from behind the sun. And then when my parents "confirmed" ~ a historical source ~ I knew the exhilaration of the greats. (Remember Alex Haley finding Kunte Kinte?)

I worked hard on that. Didn't even apologize, not wanting to draw attention to all those giant PC's sitting in the front row of everyone's mind, with their fat thighs bulging hideously through the armrests.
oooops.
It's (probably only marginally) interesting that the majority of the genetic variability, the vast vast vast majority, was left up to the male. A woman is born (yes?) with like 300 eggs, and "mr populate with abundance" produces say what 1-10 million different blooms per sneeze. That's a lot of contestants.
Once they learned to make them, they could make a lot.
I'm going to have to look into how it's done. How the codes are doled out. I see a big bowl, with someone stirring, with a bunch of soldiers in line under a tarp.
