correct horse battery staple. if you know what this means, you know what this means.
we went to the state fair today. My roommate went to the correct horse battery stable. I went to see the elephant instead.

this cartoon is about how we are all of us descended from a long line of winners, those who survived and had offspring. ancestry.com is a lot of fun in working out the details.
however, that's only part of the picture. in each generation, there were, usually, more offspring that didn't make it, that died young, or died old and childless. it took me a long time to figure out that i'm one of those. my brother is a winner, but he never had kids. my sisters each had 2, so our family's genes will continue.i'm 51 today, no kids yet, don't know if i ever will.
