I suspect that you are correct; those are not recognized. But let us move further back up the stream of conception. We are all the result of a major selection process. We are the result of an awesome competition amongst sperm that makes us one out of 40 Million. Look at that guy who is a total loser and ask yourself, "Is this the best of 40 Million? Jesus, what were the real losers like?" We should all pray for life's losers. "There but for the grace of God go I." Well maybe just "go I." Ha, ha! <quote> The World Health Organisation provides a definition of a 'normal' sperm count: the concentration of spermatozoa should be at least 20 million per ml. the total volume of semen should be at least 2ml. the total number of spermatozoa in the ejaculate should be at least 40 million. at least 75 per cent of the spermatozoa should be alive (it is normal for up to 25 per cent to be dead). at least 30 per cent of the spermatozoa should be of normal shape and form. at least 25 per cent of the spermatozoa should be swimming with rapid forward movement. at least 50 per cent of the spermatozoa should be swimming forward, even if only sluggishly. It is quite surprising how many dead and abnormal sperm can be present in a 'normal' sample. </quote> http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/menshealth/facts/semenandsperm.htm So the first and foremost selection process favors sperm that can swim like hell ... Now what the f does that have to do with social skills in a modern world? As far as those 39,999,999 losers go all I can say is "Don't cry for me., Argentina" http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~kennyz/madonna_lyrics/evita2.html#dontcry Hey, they had their chance, took their shot, sperm races are not that democratic.
