new y-chromosone parasite (friday)From: Freda (fredalss@ca.inter.net)Thu Oct 21 17:40:27 2004
There is a parasite, known as Blisfullia ignorans, so tiny that it attaches itself to the tail of the y-chromosome and renders all males blind to the presence of disposal containers. It has been discerned in human subjects as early as 18 months of age. The carrier generates small heaps, sometimes at random, but often at established Shedding Points, and acts as if compelled to maintain their height despite disposal raids by females. While no chemical intervention has yet proved successful, and some behaviour modification approaches have proved dangerously counter-productive (cf: Strawe, Lars, and Ende, Witts: "Nagging and its unintended Consequences", Journal of Applied Psychology, Vol. LXII, #9, September, 2004), there is recent anecdotal evidence that the strengthening of the female's disposal patterns might have a beneficial outcome. From personal experience I can observe that, 19 months into intensive institutionalisation of disposal patterns on my part, my own resident male - while still maintaining the laundry tag heap every morning, and the keys/ID/wallet/pen/pencil/pocket knife heap every evening in established Shedding locations - has identified the laundry hamper and, more often than not, will use it. Research continues internationally; there might be light at the end of this tunnel. I do believe that the research will show that Blisfulia ignorans is present in both male and female children. At this early age, "Shedding Points" are almost always at random, with main concentrations occurring in vital pathways of the subject's domicile. It is thought that chemical changes occurring in the female during puberty will kill off, or at least render the parasite dormant. Some resistant strains will be killed off or rendered dormant during the gestation period when the female subject procreates. The process is commonly referred to as "nesting." It is not unusual for the female subject to unwittingly pass the Blisfulia ignorans parasite to her offspring. At the same time, a virus may infect the female subject. This virus is called Painfulia Forgettenzen, after the esteemed Dr. Forgettenzen, who first postulated the theory that a virus is, in fact, responsible for the females' tendency to forget the pain of childbirth.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
