    Too funny. Given where they live, do they burn that much wood, if any?

    Speaking of genetic traits; I heard this on the radio not too long ago.

    It seems that someone somewhere did a study on diarrhea and came up with the results that it is hereditary!
    No kidding! It was found to be in genes! :p

    Making firewood is good no matter where. Who cares about the genes; if it is fun, do it.

    It's especially true if the family's surname is "Brown"

    It sure looks like hoarding is in your family's microcode (genetic in human-speak). Judging by the not-small heap of rounds shown, have you considered ya may also have the characteristic called "go big or go home"? LOL
