Another thought of the day, July 29, 2009

I guess it is cool that scientists are mapping the human genome for clues to diseases and male pattern baldness.  But somewhere in the human genome there is some combination of molecules (or whatever) that causes children never to want to go to sleep at bedtime and whine, “are we there yet?” within 5 minutes of starting a journey.  Because children are born knowing how to do these things, I want the scientists to find these traits on the map of the human genome.
