Well, actually, I'm not sure anything in my post precludes that. [back-and-fill emoticon]
And besides, I'm not even sure I can agree that celibacy isn't hereditary too, and for the same reason: if your parents were celibate, and the previous generation was celibate too, I do think you would find it rather difficult to indulge in much hanky-panky yourself...
punchline: (wailing)"...it's CELEBRATE" !!

...but what I was trying to describe was your chances of having children, not of being a father... :) My argument may not be valid, but for a different reason!

How did we get from a discussion on reading to a discussion on, er fathering?

"How did we get from a discussion on reading to a discussion on, er fathering?" That seems to be the trademark here, don't you think? One that indubitably represents the evolution of our thoughts and responses... Makes the thread infinitely unpredictable and interesting in the process, of course!

I think the discussion over whether the celoibacy of ones parents and grandparents precludes an individual from becoming, themselves, a parent is extremely apposite to the discussion of reading. In this case, there is certainly an appearance that words have been read and taken at a face value which is, on deeper inspection, false (unless Zed is pulling a leg in an equal and opposite direction.) This discussion is very similar to ones that we have had over the legality of marrying one's widow's sister. (except by proxy, of course , eh, Faldage?)

Then there's the possibility of one's having been declared legally dead for lack of evidence to the contrary.
