Finally, the book explained.

Funny vid, but I would like an "Ask ThatGuy" containing two more frequently asked questions, such as the Video Game to be reviewed, and the 101st Five Second Video. In fact, when I saw "two frequently asked questions answered (or something of the sort)," I thought those would be the two.

Recessive vs dominant...
written by MrCrazi , July 17, 2008
Ummm... did you say that if the inability-to-be-found gene is recessive, and if they both have that, then the dominant gene to being normal would take over? If you didn't, everything I'm going to write will be redundant.

Okay, let's say that there's a gene pair of inability to be found that is recessive (n) and to be normal that is dominant (N). Possible pairings of these two genes are NN (normal), Nn (normal) and nn (a fucking Waldo).

According to that logic both parents are nn. And if we put two nn-parents together all that can come out of it are nn-children (as the child would take one gene from the father and one from the mother). So no, the kid wouldn't be normal. It'd be another fucking Waldo.

If what you really meant but somehow flubbed your lines was that being a fucking Waldo was dominant (W) and being normal was recessive (w), then the parents could be of any of these pairings: WW&WW, WW&Ww and Ww&Ww as neither one of them could be ww (normal).

Then what the kids could be:
WW&WW => WW (Waldo)
WW&Ww => WW (Waldo), Ww (Waldo)
Ww&Ww => WW (Waldo), Ww (Waldo) and ww (normal)

The probability of kid being a ww is (very) unlikely but possible.

So, ummm... I'm not sure what you said but I'm a huge nerd.

If someone actually feels the need to point out that the meaning of life and the definition of life are two different concepts, then this website might not be the place for you. Just have fun with it, enjoy! And watch more TGWTG goodness. Now with that said yet another excellent episode.

Damn Lupin haha

Though I did see him reading the Chronicles of Narnia at the end of one of the episodes. For the person who gaveme a thumbs down on my last comment, it's not a big deal, I was only pointing something out and it's a joke.

This isn't really related, but speaking of books on tape, has anyone seen that Dirty Potter and the Snape kills Dumbledore on Youtube?

42 is the answer to life, the universe, and everything. It is not the meaning of life. Maybe that would be a good question for that guy, what is the difference between the meaning and answer to life?

Nice to know my post got voted down to death....

Anyways, The meaning of life is in fact the dictionary definition, and not the number 42. 42 is the answer to the Ultimate question of Life, The universe, and everything. The question however was never discovered because the earth was destroyed 5 minutes before the answer was revealed.
