Does this also mean scientists have found a gene for political affiliation?

The Gauls were always a tricky bunch, inbred, devious and primitive. Caesar can tell you.

I don't understand this study.

Most women get a cold and they carry on. Most men catch a cold and they whimper about it, and tell everyone they have the 'flu.

You boys don't know pain.

made a significant difference in the pain tolerance, and pain-related emotions and feelings, of volunteers.

Well, my dad has an insane tolerance for pain.(He hammered his thumb with a carpenter hammer and didn't even swear). Mine's not as high as his, but I kept weighlifting right after I first subluxed my shoulder and finished my workout.

I think pain tolerance is mostly in the mind. Guys never want to look weak in front of their dads, sons or other guys. It becomes so habitforming, that the mentality is there at all times. I like the old saying "Walk it off".

a team from the University of Michigan and the National Institutes of Health reports.

I wonder where they got the subjects for the study. I mean, coming up with wimps is easy, just visit Michigan State or Ohio State, but finding a real he-man in the People's Democratic Socialist Republic of Ann Arbor has got to be rather like finding a needle in a haystack...

Full disclosure: I did my undergrad at the University of Michigan's main campus ;-) in Dearborn.
