George that was a funny post :)and Christopher along your lines its
womens fault men do stupid things!  In evolution they sexually
selectedthe men that would rather tinker around with chess programs than
do things with a more immediate impact on there lives and society.  On
the otherhand men shoudl take credit for sexually selecting the females
with the common sense. (George and his wife are a perfect example of how
this perpetuates itself.)
