I Need a Medical Opinion

What's going on with my finger?

It doesn't hurt... and I didn't even notice it right away.

I think I've pieced it together, though. I had a tiny, hanging chad off to the right of my nail, you know, just a little thin string of skin--and I yanked it out. This is necessary a few times a year... But then a day later, my finger was doing this (pictured)... it actually looks worse now, three days later.

What's your diagnosis?

Evolutionary Models... and Skittles

Because my firstborn is a girl... and because 3 of our first 4 kids are girls... I'm tempted to believe this new study which concludes that my wife and I are amazingly attractive. But wait... the study has too many holes!

There is an evolutionary psychologist by the name of Satoshi Kanazawa who claims that the physically attractive will produce girls first, and more readily, than will the frumpy. His research is based on "objective" diagnostics on the beauty of mating spouses. The most beautiful in Kanazawa's sample, appear to have more first-born daughters. The reason? Well, he's an evolutionist, so it must come back to our bodies--on their own--figuring stuff out for us.

This guy has concluded that humans produce offspring that benefit from our best attributes. So men, if you're "too sexy for your shirt," and you hook up with a woman who can "Vogue," then in all likelihood your child will walk the catwalk. But if you can move a lot of cinder in a little bit of time, you're more likely to produce thugheaded children who despise their looks.
