There was a great article (subscription required) in the NY Times today about the X Chromosome and how it has come to be more flexible and hard to understand than most other chromosomes (and especially from the male Y chromosome, which apparently just has to sprout a little penis). I couldn't help but giggle my way through the article, which concluded with this paragraph:
Every daughter, then, is a walking mosaic of clamorous and quiet chromosomes, of fatherly sermons and maternal advice, while every son has but his mother’s voice to guide him. Remember this, fellows: you are all mama’s boys.
Ah, how often I have told Emil that already!
