Did you know that diarrhoea is genetic?

Well it is, and that's because it runs in your genes. And speaking of genes, a genetic switch allowed dogs to adapt to starch-rich diets and evolve from meat-munching wolves into man’s leftover-loving best friend, revealed scientists with the help of a new study. Comparing the genetic code of a domestic dog to that of its wolf cousins, a team of researchers from Sweden, Norway, and America found several telling differences. “Our findings show that the digestive systems of dogs have adapted to be able to live on a diet similar to ours,” says co-author Erik Axelsson. Previous research has said that dog domestication began when wolves started scavenging on waste dumps near human settlements. But either way, this is scientific proof of evolution. But sadly, not all of humanity has evolved to a point where one can expect a rational and civilised way of thinking. Here's the proof: two men from Atlanta, Georgia have been accused of making off with US$65,000 in frozen Tyson chicken wings, in what is surely one of the odder food-related heists in recent memory. CBS Atlanta reports that suspects Renaldo Jackson and Dewayne Patterson were employees at the Nordic Cold Storage facility outside of the city when the wings came up missing, in a theft that was swiftly foiled by management. But seriously, why bother with a chicken wing heist? Blame the Super Bowl, which takes place in New Orleans on February 3rd. The championship football game is a major eating holiday in the United States, and chicken wings are one of the culinary standbys of this sporting holiday — and command higher prices during Super Bowl season. So it would make perfect sense that two bellends would risk jail time by stealing an amount surplus to the requirements of many a party from their own workplace.
