Have they found the gene that links old white people and flaming :smiley:

That’s the :beer: talking :laughing:

Anyway, what is it with kiwi geneticists? Are they all media sluts? Reports I’ve heard include: Maori are genetically related to Taiwanese aborigines; Maoris have some genetic issue that means they don’t deal well with alcohol; more recently that weird fool Winston Peters declared at an Asean conference that he was Chinese because Maori have Chinese DNA; and now Maori are predisposed to violence. Are these “studies” all by the same chap?

Ha ha ha! I think it’s the very same gene that causes piles.

Vorkosigan, I like your style; you obviously know what you’re talking about, and you blow a massive hole in the arguments presented here by our less erudite friends (erudite on this matter, at least). :bravo:

Big study, not Kiwi related. Done right here at Mackay Hospital in Taipei. MSNBC has the call.

That one is sex-linked, and can strike at any age.

I can’t find the link, though they had to get the Maori samples from somewhere. Do you know of one?
