I Knew It!

To the first-born, go the smarts.

I have to thank my younger brother (a third-born) for sending me the article linked above. I'm guessing, based on the subject matter, that he wants me to call him back and read it to him. I am impressed that he figured out how to send an email, considering his birth order.

This explains so much.

I neglected to mention that, last Friday night, I extended my lifetime unbeaten streak at Trivial Pursuit. There is nothing fun about playing Trivial Pursuit anymore. It's too much pressure. As an undefeated folk-hero of the game, I have nothing to gain and everything to lose each time I roll the dice "for the wedge". Based on the article linked here, I guess I increase my chances of winning by playing a sibling. I've "retired" from competition three or four times in the past, but have come out of retirement each time to answer a well-worded challenge.

Thanks, Mom, for having me first.
