To do

  • get all references to his biological clock, including his description of when he sleeps (ask Ivy in Mumble and she can tell you a bit more about it, if I don't get to ask her first) and I do know in Mumble and in chats Chris has described what his sleeping pattern is like. --Champthom 12:11, 30 March 2009 (CEST)

Actually, he might not be far off.

Let's face it, Chris isn't getting any younger, and will most likely never dump his sperm in a woman. The older you get, the older your sperm get. If your sperm get too old (like Bob's), your kid will be at a higher risk for having some kind of mental disorder (like, I don't know, AUTISM?). Maybe incorporate some facts about the aging of sperm and its effect on the mental health of the baby, and point out how Chris will likely die a virgin (not that we need anyone to tell us that). Edit: http://autism-prevention.blogspot.com/2009/07/repeat-post-great-article.html Check this shit out. And yeah, I know this isn't what he meant. Just found it interesting. --DonnieDarko 22:23, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

On the useage of the word biological clock

Just a note, while the article does say its not an incorrect useage of the word to refer to the sleeping pattern, I think it may be a situation more to do with the local dialect. I don't think it'd be worth changing the page over it though.

For example, I live in the Midwest (Wisconsin to be exact), we always say biological clock to refer to sleep pattern. By contrast, we say period or the cycle usually to refer o women's fertility cycle.

Just a thought. -IconOfEvi 13:19, 22 October 2010 (PDT)

  • I live in Illinois, and I have never heard the term biological clock used to refer to sleep pattern. Is it commonplace in the South?--trombonista 22:46, 23 October 2010 (PDT)

DSPS

It is possible that Chris has a sleep disorder known as delayed sleep phase syndrome. It affects people in their early to late twenties. What Chris desires from a woman will not cure DSPS as it is a problem with circadian rhythm unaffected by testosterone. DSPS can't be used as an excuse for his lack of a job as he could easily work a graveyard shift and make more money. Although it is highly unlikely that DSPS is the problem, it is worth considering the possibility.
