1. roleplaying is so much fun. Played it back in my teens, and started a new group, where I live now, 3 months ago!
2. Damn you! I couldn't imagine any life to be much less adventurous than mine.. it sucks.
3. same here. We're probably right about the bad voice.. just a guess.
4. yeah you do. But I do too..

I find it intriguing that it only goes for about 30% of your cells though. Were you ever given an explanation for this?

I didn't know until one and a half year ago- my parents knew all the time but wouldn't tell me for whatever reason. It was really weird at first, you start questioning what's different about yourself. You get a whole new look on how easily things can go wrong with chromosomes. I'm lucky, but if it happens to another chromosome the effects are much worse.
In the end I read a lot about it. In the 70's or 80's people called it the crime syndrome because of some misinterpreted study. But it does have some effect on social behavior, kids tend to be more active, not that quick to the uptake, might have delayed speech etc.
and there's stuff like shaky hands (that I have), more acne, in comparison to siblings lower IQ, greater height (after all I'm 1,98m).
There are also some studies on how it might effect sexuality.
Still don't know what to think of it, but yeah, it's just not that serious. No desease or something.
30% is an estimated number. When I was born they tested some cells, and that's the average.
It's probably 25%, that would make sense considering how it happens, citation:
"In some cases, the addition of an extra Y chromosome results from nondisjunction during cell division during a post-zygotic mitosis in early embryonic development. This can produce 46,XY/47,XYY mosaics." So maybe it happend when 2 cells became 4?!
