Sci Tech News - from ABC News Online 10/07/2003 Marriage may tame genius. I read upon this topic while reading slashdot. Apparently, I'm doomed before I even got started! If you read the article, you'll see what I mean. But in all honesty, the high I get when I've accomplished something scientifically does not come close to matching the joy I feel when I nap next to my son, play with him, take a walk with him, or just seeing his face. Some may view the topic raised by this article in a negative light, I see it otherwise. Maybe I'm just making excuses for my slow growth to scientific competency; however, I challenge you to wait until you are married and have children before you pass judgement.

Posted by: Monkeyspit on July 17, 2003 05:04 PMIt does seem a bit obvious, doesn't it? You can't spend all night in the lab anymore and your subconscious which was formerly so busy thinking of all the angle of a scientific problem is now thinking about how to raise your child as well as or better than your family raised you. But damn it, I'm gonna buck the trend. If all goes well, you'll be reading about it in Nature.
