Anyway. Right, looking back on such things as Hapsburg
Jaw, the Roman nose, it crossed my mind that there may
be some extremely weird horizontal transmissions of dna.
If we follow the Darwin model, then having a damn great
big jawbone would be very handy in an environment with a
lot of very
hard food. 18th century cuisine had already
worked out how to do the soft-boiled egg, soup etc, so it
was not a useful piece of dna to have in that time.
So, my theory is this. Presuming there are parallel
universes, with humans that diverge marginally depending
on their environments, there might be some porosity at
the boundaries of the universes, allowing biological
material to travel horizontally as it were.
Perhaps this explains the more unfortunate congenital
birth defects, from environments which are radically
different to out own.
It just puzzles me and it's just weird enough to be true.

But if DNA, why not giraffes or Cessnas? And how
does this DNA get into people? |
|
| |
There is not a big enough unit of wrongth for this
idea. |
|
| |
Errr...if there are no parallel universes, howcome
there are two separate comments from people
both calling themselves "Ian Tindale"...what could
be more irrefutable evidence. |
|
| |
If there's one comment from a hegemonising
culture staring with "B" and ending in "org" (which
only exists on celluloid in our universe), then I
shall consider that proof complete. |

//giraffes or Cessnas?
Pterodactyl would be kind of Cessna and giraffe-
ish. |
|
| |
//And how does this DNA get into people?
In the traditional horizontal method. |
|
| |
That's it, 3 comments from entity entitled "Ian
Tindale". Proof positive that at least 2 parallel
universes are chipping in with annos here. |
|
| |
Can't be, halfbakery.com is region-blocked in all universes except this one. Just try going to another universe and accessing the site, see for yourself. |
|
| |
As soon as the multi-universe idea comes into existence, the definition of Universe changes to one unit with a whole lot of independent subunits. The whole structure that keeps those subunits separate would be the fundamentals of the Universe. |

//those with non-symmetrical features can have
inherited diseases like the same surname |
|
| |
So, to get more symmetrical features one needs
only to change surnames...deed polls on the NHS? |
|
| |
But anyway, if we presume there is porosity
between the universes, then it's likely to be bit
teeny, as there doesn't seem to a history of
people popping over to the next parallel universe
to take advantage of 50p off teabags bargains over
there. |
|
| |
So, if the porosity is microscopic, then only
microscopic beings (such as viruses) would be
passing through them. |

Sure there is. What else could possibly explain Donald Trump? |
