Not just genetics of course. If the mom is tucking into cake the whole time, this is going to rub off on the little blob as well. You're right, though, Ohio State aren't exactly pushing the intellectual envelope with this one.

HOLY CARP!!!
I saw a similarly fascinating article the other day saying that, in general, Americans spend more time on the couch than they do at the gym.

Intriguing!! We are truly living in enlightened times.

You would have to roll them in flour and look for the wet spot.

John, was it tasty? Please share what you had! Food is a thematically connected motif for this thread!
