Sort of a myth. Although it is a sex linked gene, it is still on the gene and not one of the missing parts (or at least it was when I learned it in high school. It is just the combination of the two genes that makes it less likely for ladies to go bald. I think ladies go bald on bb but men do on bb and Bb but not BB. I could have it wrong but that is how I remember it.

I think thats pretty close! I remember that I hated doing genetics equations!
Its the testosterone that ultimately does the folicles in. Alas!

It has been so long since I did those punit (sp?) squares that I am sure they have changed. Although I just found out my brother has a dark beard. I want to know how he ended up with red hair and a dark beard and I have black hair and a red (and sadly grey) beard.

oh good lord

Never heard a carpet/drapes comment directed at a guy before...

Don't really want to either.

Just throw 70% of your wieght on a bench press and we will call it even. I just threw the 70% out there because the motion does seem to lift 100% of a person's weight, but someone might have a more accurate value.

If he throws 70% of his weight on the cyst it will break and then he can go back to the challenge.

True story. I've done it many, many times. The nurse at my first college, who told me about the cyst, told me to lay my hand flat on a table and hit my wrist with a textbook to break the cyst.

It just hurts like hello when it breaks!

I am very late to the thread, but would definitely like to join in beginning 1/1/12. I'm sure pushups will be a challenge for me, but I'm up for trying! Thanks!
