Down syndrome is caused by a Trisomy, not another pair.

Ebert probably filed his piece with both his employer of record and the syndicate that carries his stuff, and then either the copies were edited differently, or he made a change that ran in one and not the other. Cut for length, adjusted to suit a different market... many possibilities.Indrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13752279328772167047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6216910.post-1130185573814154062005-10-24T13:26:00.000-07:002005-10-24T13:26:00.000-07:00The review in question seems to appear over here.B...The review in question seems to appear <A HREF="http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051020/REVIEWS/51012003" REL="nofollow">over here</A>.<BR/><BR/>But I ran into an oddity that confuses me. Just after reading the review, I searched for "extra chromosome" (to confirm my memory that it generally tends to cause Down's Syndrome, not super strength), and found <A HREF="http://www.southcoasttoday.com/daily/10-05/10-21-05/b03li123.htm" REL="nofollow">this other piece</A>. Which appears to be <I>almost</I> the same review, still attributed to Ebert, but with at least the one "soul" paragraph changed. I wonder how that came about?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6216910.post-1130171699249273112005-10-24T09:34:00.000-07:002005-10-24T09:34:00.000-07:00'Cause they're demons, and they derive their power...'Cause they're demons, and they derive their powers from Satan.

Sometimes it's the only way to keep oneself amused in the critiquing process, and it's kinder than going after the guilty parties one at a time and sucking the marrow from their miserable bones.Indrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13752279328772167047noreply@blogger.com
