Improved medical care has eliminated the natural selection that once
culled them from the species (see "Man shoots self in head with nailgun,
saved by doctors!", National Enquirer, August 1992). According to the
best estimates, by the year 2031 the gene pool is expected to be so
polluted that over 90% of all email will consist of the words "Please
take me off this list," followed by a respite in 2045 when the ability
to use written language evolves out of the species.
