I wish I could vote 5 for that! Have a 5 in your mind anyway! :)

Blimey I can barely remember last Thurday, never mind the RSCL from 1996. (Actually, not true, I remember Dawkins excellent lecture "Climbing Mount Improbable", I went on to buy the book.) And I remember the Tech guy Bryson Gore. My old Physics Prof did it one year, Frank Close.

Yes, I remember Bryson. Didn't Frank move on to CERN?
he did for a while, he is now at bristol i think.

Ended up in accounts because it pays well.

To be honest, I did not understood anything after this in your post. Maybe since it is not of my interest.
Well you did ask! :)

He has NO opinions, he merely regurgitates the smegma he finds on you tube, then when he is given the proof that it is wrong retaliates with insults or changes the conversation. I am afraid he is a twat, and that is why I broached the subject.

Now I get taught a new word as well as reminded of the glorious cheesiness of another, all in one Saturday arvie.

I liked maths and physics too, Got A levels in both as well, got a degree in physics. Haplodiploid is a mechanism for determining sex of offspring. If an allele is heterozygous the offspring will be femail, if homozygous, male. That is Haploids develope from unfertilized eggs into males, and the diploids develop from fertilized eggs and become female. This means that a male of haplodiploid alleled specii cannot by definition have a father, nor can he have a son. However, and you have to think about this, he has a grandfather and may have grandsons. There can be diploid males but they are always sterile, so no joy there then. Another oddity is that in Haplodiploids, the males tend to have half the number of chromosomes than the females, yet functionality is maintained.

So you did get drunk last night, eh? ;P You ought to be ashamed of yourself, Dave, that's not even the American spelling! :laugh:
Cheers, Vikram. (Got my troika of CCCs!)
