Finally, a decent excuse.

I expected some kind of proof of such outlandish statements.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe.

Voting is compulsory in my country. So everyone votes (once they are an adult).

[up] That, and I can't find a link to the twin study itself in the SA article. I doubt SA's just making shit up, but it's easy to assume or exaggerate stuff about the data (for example, just how strong is the reported genetic factor).

Well, this came by way of cracked so I suggest taking a small dump truck of sodium chloride.

They got an r² of 60%. It's hardly completely determined by genetics, even in that study.

Or is that just r... bah, statistics
