    Mario Pantsu Galore; Cartridge-Huffing as Acquired Genetic Legacy

    Digg strikes again with an inaccurately-titled, but still informative collection of Mario underpants, including a few we've posted separately before. As is usual in Dugg articles of little actual content, commentators are driven to generate their own, including this fascinating anecdote from Digg user vap0r:

    My son has a gameboy advance, and he blows on the cartidges when they don't work. The funny thing, is that this was not taught to him. He just did it on instinct, which leads me to believe that this behavior is inherited not learned. It seems that I've blown into so many nintendo cartridges, that it has changed my DNA...

    There you have it. Gaming as retroactive proof of Lamarckism.
