OK, we admit it this is a honeytrap. Sorry if your joke is on this website but it brings in a huge amount of S|P|A|M everyday which can then be used as a template to filter e-mails.

The Usenet Oracle has pondered your question deeply.
Your question was:
> Tell me oh great and wonderous Oracle.....Why *do* fools fall in in
> love?
And in response, thus spake the Oracle:
} There are several schools of thought on this:
}
} 1) Molecular biology
}
} Basically, a huge hunk of your DNA is there to make sure that the REST
} of your DNA gets a chance to be copied. When your brain is getting
} constructed, a hunk of it is allocated just for the "reproduce"
} function. In order to accomplish that, it's allowed to tell you any lie
} it wants to.
}
} So when a potential mate shows up, this hunk of your brain tells you
} lies like "you are attractive" and "it'll work out this time". If you
} try to interfere, eventually it just says "Look, bucko, I was built by
} DNA which has been on this planet for 3.5billion years now. If you
} think you can outwit a veteran of 3.5billion years of the struggle to
} survive, then you have another think coming."
}
} 2) Self-selection of sample.
}
} If two sets of people begin romances, and one of them fails, the people
} in the failed one think of themselves as foolish. The people in the
} other one think of themselves as lucky. So both groups had romances,
} but the one that flopped is the one that is marked as "foolish".
}
} 3) Basic misunderstanding.
}
} This is the school of thought which says that love isn't something you
} fall into: love is something you grow. If you expect to just fall into
} a perfect relationship, you're doomed. It has to grow, as the people
} involved nurture it.
}
} 4) The "birds & bees" explanation.
}
} Fools fall in love because they're bird-brains.
}
} You owe the Oracle a copy of Richard Dawkin's book _The Selfish Gene_.
