    Centenarians? Centurians were soldiers who commanded groups of 100.

No, I was talking about awesome soldiers, and their positive outlook on life.

    But back to Lamarck. Don't give yourself too much credit :) Probably the wife has more to do with it than you. I think that you both could affect the methylation status of such and such gene, but that she probably has all the cards when it comes to regulatory RNAs and more of the share are transcription factors. Yet another reason to celebrate mothers...even if it is a day late.

You think? I would guess that the sperm factory is very susceptible to what is going on day to day, -maybe not regulatory RNAs so much, but who knows? Well, at least I chose the sex (meaning male or female).
