On this blog entry, commenter Leia says

Chris, I’m feeling powerfully sexually attracted to you right now. This despite the fact that 1) I’ve never seen you, 2) I don’t know you, and 3) I haven’t even read your blog before.

Can evolutionary psychology explain this?

which pretty much sums up my response. *swoon*

oh, *thank you* for that link!

it was so brilliant that I was moved to comment on a blog hosted by a system other than LiveJournal. also, I may have offered to have his babies. do you think he'd be interested in keeping a harem?

Well, that would maximize his changes for spreading his genes, so I don't think he'll be able to resist his genetic programming!

That blog entry made my weekend. I get so sick of stupid so-called 'studies show' articles. Some of them even make the BBC. They usually demonstrate (by way of asking six female friends of the researcher/twelve women and a bloke working in an office in Hull/seven girls smoking outside the Safeways in Kensington), that all women want is [insert sexist crap here].

I tagged that on del.icio.us (after much guffawing) with "timely satire". I'm pleased it is getting linked in the wider blogosphere :)

Locus taedius! I wonder if the expression of the luz-R gene is most clearly shown in older men, like James Watson.

Chris Clarke is my hero. I really need to read his blog more often.

He's delivered two of my top three favourite elegant smack-downs, now. I may have to give and admit I read his blog.
