Ehm... it's not like you're the fifth rider of the apocalypse everyone forgot to mention, right?

Oh, no!!! They've blown my cover. My evil plan to wield destruction in the UK has now been foiled. As a completely unrelated aside, I am somewhat disturbed by the fact that I left Oz in Feb with droughts and bushfires ... apparently about 2 weeks after I left it started raining. Since I arrived in the UK they've had almost no rainfall and apparently had bushfires last week. Bushfires in the UK!!!!!

Should probably go do some work now.

That's heath fires. Although I believe heath is austrian for bush.

Was about to start work, when I picked up an industry journal which had some info that I just have to share …

“90% of the 100 greatest mathematicians of all time were first-born boys. They were not necessarily the first born child, but they were nearly all the first boy in the family”

The reason proposed for this is that … “when a mother is carrying a boy, her body’s immune system reacts against proteins coded for by 3 genes on the Y chromosome which are closely related with brain development in the womb … so for later-born babies, sexual antagonism in the womb could be retarding male brain development.”

Hmmm breakfast (heads down to the vending machine to get a Snickers bar).

Umm... I guess that depends on where in OZ you are talking about. Queensland had floods; the rest of the nation is still suffering.

OZ, the land of water in the wrong place!


(try to do it like us dutch, tame the water)

It must be one of those random things then. Everytime I phone someone in Oz it seems to be raining there. I think Sydney's been getting quite a bit of rain but it hasn't gone further inland.

BTW: Did you have a good ANZAC day?

Are they (you) suggesting that second born males are have retarded brains? Hate to disappoint you but I'm a first born.
