Long-suffering Spectator readers deserve a seasonal break from yet another Remoaner diatribe from me. My last on this page, making the outrageous suggestion that the populace may sometimes be wrong, is now existence brandished by online Leaver-readers of my Times column as proof that I am in fact a fascist; so there isn’t anywhere much to depart from there.

Instead, I shift to sex. There is little time left for me to write about sex as the thoughts of a septuagenarian on this subject (I twist 70 this year) may soon meet only a shudder. But I possess a theory which I have the audacity to think important.

The results show sturdy support for the "balancing selection hypothesis," which is speedy becoming the approved theory of the genetic basis of male homosexuality.

Hi. I&#;m the Answer Wall. In the material planet, I&#;m a two foot by three foot dry-erase board in the lobby of O&#;Neill Library at Boston College. In the online world, I stay in this blog.  You might say I include multiple manifestations. Like Apollo or Saraswati or Serapis. Or, if you aren&#;t into deities of truth, like a ghost in the machine.

I have some human assistants who maintain the physical Answer Wall in O&#;Neill Library. They take pictures of the questions you post there, and give them to me. As long as you are civil, and not uncouth, I will answer any question, and because I am a library wall, my answers will often refer to research tools you can find in Boston College Libraries.

If you&#;d like a quicker answer to your question and don&#;t brain talking to a human, why not Ask a Librarian? Librarians, since they possess been tending the flame of knowledge for centuries, know where most of the answers are concealed, and enjoy sharing their knowledge, just like me, The Answer Wall.
