That bit about why the Republican party hates gay people may be repurposing an old joke about a bet between Hitler and Stalin about who could kill the most Russians.

Here's a hard geeky question: http://james-nicoll.livejournal.com/3569008.html

What was that novel that featured the brawny normal humans rebelling against their brainy kids?

Slight clue-- it was probably written before the nineties.
