there’s no shortage of weird people in the world. every one of them has a ‘theory.’
for example, there’s this fellow, Leonard Shlain, I heard on the radio one time.
He has a couple of books: Art & Physics, The Alphabet vs. the Goddess, Sex, Time & Power.
here’s some of his ideas:
theory of 8’s

8% of men are gay
5% of women are gay
 
8% of men are left handed
5% of women are left handed
 
8% of men are bald on top of the head
8% of men are colorblind (advantage: can see thru camoflage)

 
hunting group theory:
 

a hunting group consists of about 12.
 
8% is about 1 in 12.

 
determining whether any of those numbers are actually valid is left as an exercise for the reader.

evolutionary biologist theory:

the best hunters get the most sex.

makes sense, I guess.
 

a woman’s orgasm tends to cause her to lie recumbent for long enough for sperm not to fall out.
 
ha. there’s a joke in there somewhere.
state change theory:

make a graph of human evolution for the past 2 million years, linear until very recently, then exponential explosion.
when this happens in physics, the object being measured changes state (phase change, metamorphosis, etc.)
humans are in the process of changing state
reason: we’ve exteriorized the human nervous system-information exchange independent of dna
therefore: transcendent, spiritual, total change coming up.

oh, yeah. we’re in for some kind of change. just ask al gore.
