Probably deserving of a separate thread is 'Dumb search terms you've personally used'. I sometimes teach introductory genetics and when you do that you kind of get very used to the word sex. It doesn't come with neon flashing lights and triple x's. It's just a word to describe gender and a means of reproduction. When I prepare lectures I try to anticpate questions students will ask. In one class I use an example of male-pattern baldness which, to cut a long story short, acts as dominant trait in men but a recessive trait in women. I realized I didn't actually know the mechanism behind this (it acts like a sex-linked trait but it isn't on the sex chromosomes) and wondered whether there was some quick general information on dominance traits and sex. So, yup, you guessed it, I googled sex and dominance. At least it wasn't an image search..... John

That's your story and you're sticking to it, right John?
What was the secret, they wanted to know; in a thousand different ways they wanted to know The Secret. And not one of them was prepared, truly prepared to believe that it had not so much to do with chemicals and zippy mental tricks as with that most unprofound and sometimes heart-rending process of removing, molecule by molecule, the very tough rubber that comprised the bottoms of his training shoes. The Trial of Miles; Miles of Trials
