"Switch" is what I thought certain unscrupulous nurses and parents do in hospitable nurseries for newborns. Legend says they use intuitive DNA analysis to determine who's got the good goods (no stress, no this, no that - the undamaged integrity of internal switches, etc). Do you resemble any of your parents, grandparents, cousins, etc? You may well be a victim of the "switch." Sorry - I actually find this level of DNA analysis to be fascinating. It permits a poetry, a sense of history within and beyond the geometric fascination of the double helix. Smithson's Spiral Jetty after 35 years of water and salt.
