It's not the meek, apparently, but the quick, the healthy and the
opportunistic who will inherit the earth, according to a report in
Wired Magazine. An Israeli neurologist says the ultimate underdog
story -- David vs. Goliath -- was not as one-sided as we've been led
to believe. Vladimir Berginer maintains Goliath suffered from a
pituitary gland disease that not only made him really big -- 10 feet
tall, by biblical accounts -- but made him slow and impaired his
vision as well. So the smaller, quicker David was able to outmaneuver
his larger opponent and get in position to deliver the fabled killing
shot.
(Yeah, and if David had taken his Ritilin that day, none of this
would have ever happened.)
