This solves the sex discussion in the social science section, parrents are per definition asexual creatures. :approve:

But if your parents didn't, or your grand parents didn't? think of all the trouble
you caused over the centuries. generations of nappy changes, burpings
sleepless nights.

Oh, grandparents can, just parents can't. My one set of grandparents were quite spunky, so it doesn't phase me at all to think of them...at least when they were younger...being "romantic," even if they always slept in separate beds (that might be the secret to a long and happy marriage...my grandmother said it never stopped them from meeting between the beds :smile:). At least they slept in the same room. My other grandparents have gone years of sleeping on entirely different floors of the house! They're just the weird grandparents. :rolleyes:

I interpret that to me both survival of the fittest and the capability to "replicate". Quite profound indeed :smile:

However, if I may offer a suggestion for improvement to Anttech:

"The knowldege of self-spread amongst the collective":smile:

Wait a minute. I though we weren't suppose to say anything profound down here. That sort of thing is "looked down upon" . . . down here . . . is it?

Yup, that report button grew red hot, profound is so close to profane in GD,
although i think you are allowed one mistake :smile:
