So, I have been meaning to blog for a while now and I even got so far as to do a small amount of research on the causes of humidity, as per Elise's question, but alas, nothing came of it. I am still working on that one and hope to be able to answer it soon but for now I seem to have put up a mental block that is preventing me from grasping the concept.
In the meantime I have been keeping busy with work, microbiology, and genetics (there's another mental block...)( O. Chem is having to wait till next semester on account of there are more crazy people than I thought because the class was full and I couldn't get in.) Other than that things are pretty much the same in my life. Which, all things considered, is ok.
In the meantime, I got another question which has a pretty quick and easy answer, which is about all that I have time or the mental capacity for at the moment so I thought I would tackle it. The question is, are there more males or females born in the world or is it just 50/50?
If I had to guess I would think there were more females by far, based mainly on the fact that there seem to be no single guys around..... but actually, it turns out that there are more boys born than girls. (You'd think my odds would be better...)
Apparently there are about 105 baby boys born for every 100 baby girls. And even though women have a longer life expectancy than men (about 80 years to about 75 years) there are still more men on the planet at any given time than there are women. Which leaves only one question: Where are the good single ones? If you find them you are certainly welcome to direct them my way : )

The whole 80 years to about 75 years is a good reason to find someone younger than yourself! I guess I would still have to find someone who has something in common with you rather than "you are both single" right?
Really?! Wow. How interesting. I never would have guessed that. That is very surprising to me. How strange. Virginia is a long way to have a long-distance relationship, but you never know! If I find someone I will tell them they have a soul-mate living in Utah and they should get working on fixing that gap. :) Thanks for answering my question!
Oh hey, I learned something interesting last night - did you know refried beans are a mistranslation? I had no idea. Apparently (according to the internet source Justin used anyway) the name in Spanish really means "really fried" beans. Isn't that funny that all these years later they are only known to Americans as refried beans. Justin was stumped as to what that meant by being "refried", so he looked it up and that is what he found. Just thought I'd pass that random, useless information on. :)
Good luck with you classes!
Ahem...I meant to say youR classes. I'm apparently still learning how to speak my own language so I guess I shouldn't mock the person who tried to translate from one to the other and brought me the yumminess of refried beans. :)
