I teach a science course at a PUG. 20% of my students will not even attempt to answer short answer questions on exams. I don't believe they know how to write.

I think the more important overlap is in the brain itself. We have known that regions of cortex that register genital stimulation are adjacent to/overlap with the area hat registers foot stimulation since Penfield did the first mapping of cortex in the 1930s.

In answer to "that's true for perception, but why the excitement for looking" lays in that the homuncular representation is not a simple one. We know that there are multiple homuncululi tied to different types of perception, and there is more modern work that ties the planning and goal systems to the functional centres around key points of the homonculi. The physical closeness of the two is possibly responsible for the mingling of the two representations. Back in the day there was even a mechanism for it - "ephaptic excitation" - where axons running in a bundle could activate neighbouring fibres through changing the ionic composition of the fluid around them.

From the article they are being ridden in protected areas including dunes and bird breeding areas.

It's just because pergin hasn't hit the mainstream yet.

This wasn't a published study. This was beers with the folks in the genetics lab at the hospital I worked at. No patient names or other identifying information was involved. They did tissue matching etc. and ran into the issue all the time. On a personal note two close friends have found out they had different biological dads than they thought they did. So maybe my perspective is skewed somewhat.

Incredibly common. I haven't seen any recent estimates but I recall at one time that ~15% of children did not have the biological fathers than they thought they did. It's not to point the finger at women - rates of infidelity may be even higher among men, it's just harder to track independently.

I had to look.

MEC can forever go fuck themselves. They broke the co-op to sell themselves to private equity and now want to wrap themselves in the flag? Never.
