Best. Typo. EVER.
Jessica, thank you so much for pointing it out! I needed that laugh.
My fingers scold me for my self-pity.
Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Pfah! No, I decided to visit my sister when she's in Kenya. Make your friend go back next year, please.
Well, at least maybe she can give some tips or something. You're lucky you're not planning a trip now, because the only person I know who's already lived there is ANNOYING.
What IS IT with Madagascar?!
SO OVER IT.
Job offers when you've not even applied for the job are the best.
Right on.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
The bar-mitzva boy reads aloud at least part of that, instead of the usual person who reads it
In more liberal synagogues, the bat mitzvah girl reads a section of the Torah aloud during the service. However, my co-worker's synagogue is rather Orthodox (Chabad-Lubavitch), so the daughter did not read during services.
She did, however, read from the Torah during the dinner afterwards.

The point is that if it's carried on the X, then whether a man's father is bald has no correlation with his eventual baldness or not.
Emily is right about the gene that these folks found. The interesting thing is that there is a modest correlation between baldness in fathers and sons that is inconsistent with this finding. It could be that there is another gene of more modest effect that is not X-linked. But another possibility is assortative mating. It could be that women whose fathers are not bald may be less likely to choose early balding men as partners. This would create a correlation between the genes in the maternal and paternal line. It is clear that this happens for traits like intelligence and height, and it could happen here too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Women with smart fathers or tall ones choose smart or tall mates, you're saying? Is this linked to whether or not they're smart or tall?
Also, how early is early -- a significant portion of these women choosing after baldness has manifested?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just remembered my trauma of yesterday. I did not have any Girl Scout cookies this year. Samoas are my favorite. At the cookout I was at last night, someone brought a box of Samoas. And I forgot to eat any. WTF?

kat and Kat! I hardly ever get to post with any of you, let alone with the two of you together. Now I want you to agree on something that I think is correct, so that I can write that I agree with k(K)at. Because it's all about me.
ita, you're going to Kenya? That's awesome! When? For how long?
Cindy, if there's a blessing on the whine, it should have "oy" in it.
She did, however, read from the Torah during the dinner afterwards.
Actually read from the torah, or talked about that shabbat's part of the torah that's read on the morning service? Also, if she had actually read, did she do it in front of men? From the actual 'big' official torah book (that doesn't look like a book at all, but rather like a big scroll)?
