hmmm, is this why i find texting and rubiking contests pointless? an interesting bit of gender research
reveals that boys will enter into competitions just for the hell of it but
girls will only bother competing if there is a payoff for winning.

The girls spent more time watching the reactions of their competitors and responding to them.

saving your energy for when there’s something to work for makes perfect sense to me.

when i read the headline “dna profiling will get to root of tree disputes”
i expected to find that the trees in question were family trees. nope.
real trees. which neighbour’s tree has the roots that are drawing water
out of the earth and being the root cause of subsidence? use dna testing
to work it out.

the uk national text championships?? quite bizarre. it reminds me in some tangentially pointless way of rubik’s cube solving contests which still seem to be going on by the looks of it.
