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.

I'd never heard that joke (or if I did forgot about it) so I wasn't re purposing.

But, all jokes have been thought of by other people before. No joke is really original, because human behavior doesn't change much over time.

The novel turned out to be Anvil of the Heart by Bruce Holmes.
