Now there's a laziness gene?

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/07/30/is-there-a-laziness-gene_n_115850.html

There's a gene that makes you fat, a gene that makes you stupid, a gene for alcoholics, gamblers, etc.  I sometimes wonder if this is just a convenient excuse for our own behavior?  We can justify and feel better about ourselves if we blame our genes rather than our behavior.  Oh, it's not my fault I'm fat, it's my genes!  Yeah that would explain why humans have been so fat throughout history.  Now the laziness gene I can understand, because I think I suffer from it.  Curse my parents!!!

The reason why obesity is so widespread in modern post-industrial societies is because our primitive ancestors knew that the only way to be fit enough to survive - and make sure their genetic material made it to subsequent generations - was to eat and/or fuck everything in sight.

Now, of course our society and technology has evolved to the point where it's no longer necessary to eat and/or fuck everything in sight. We no longer have to worry about survival on a daily basis. However, we haven't evolved all that much. We're still compelled by hundreds of thousands of years of evolution and genetic programming to do so. And it's damn hard to fight that.

I can only speculate at the evolutionary dead ends caused by confusion over the whole fuck/eat question... sounds like the makings of a great game show though- "Eat It Or Fuck It!"

Of course in certain situations the polite thing is to do both, but I don't think that's what you were talking about.

You certainly asked the right person- Ping moderates a forum where you can find out all you ever wanted to know about fucking.

Maybe Eddie Izzard could make a show about it.  Cake or death?  Cake please.  Eat or fuck?  Fuck please!

Love Darwin.  This is my favorite: "Investigators were not sure what caused Cliff Gullett, of Bozeman, Mont., to lose control of the motorcycle Wednesday during a time trial."

Okay he was driving 239 mph on a motorcycle in the desert dumbass!  That's what caused the friggin crash.

Correction: I administrate a forum where you can find out all you ever wanted to know (and some of what you didn't) about fucking.
