     1.7 + - sperm fitness correlation :: it's evolutionary advantageous for a
     1.8 +      species' sperm to fail to function exactly when the fetus they
     1.9 +      would create would fail. But it's really hard to make this
    1.10 +      functoinal correlation happen because the sperm cell only
    1.11 +      expresses a small subset of the genome. To the extent that thei
    1.12 +      correlation effect exists, we can reverse it to find
    1.13 +      "interesting" genes. My guess --- look for genes physiccally
    1.14 +      next to sperm coding genes.
    1.15 +
    1.16 + - spinal repeater/relay :: a VERY fine mesh of directional paths,
    1.17 +      much finer than the width of a spinal axon, which can connect a
    1.18 +      bundle of nerves that has been cut together.

    1.20   - auto book ::handwritten by machine; illuminated. Like old medieval
    1.21     books. Use a model of handwriting so the letters are different.
