Tight genes.

Several online health sources reported yesterday that researchers have found the obesity gene.

I want to be delicate about this, but c’mon--it took them this long to find the gene?  It’s not exactly the smallest gene of the bunch, if you understand what I’m saying.

Basically, we have a bunch of researchers who have real trouble finding the broad side of a barn on a sunny day.

Actually, that sounds like the name of an unlikely superhero.

Gadzooks, I don’t know what flavor of ice cream to serve after my swordfish & capers dinner!

This looks like a job for… Obesity Gene !!

So my question is, can’t they just give it a little snip-snip out of the double helix?  I mean besides sumo wrestlers, who needs it?

Oh man, now all day I’m going to stuck envisioning the Adventures of Obesity Gene:

“Man, these carrot sticks are kind of bland.”
***WOOSH***
***THUD***
“Have no fear, Obesity Gene is here with a vat of ranch dressing.”

“These rice cakes taste like styrofoam.”
“Did I hear a cry for help?  Obesity Gene and his Magic Deep Fryer(tm) will fix them up for you.”

Tune in next week when Obesity Gene takes on Dark Atkins and the Slimister Five.

Dammit Greg and Richard, see what you’ve done to me?
