I may have missed this explanation in some other thread but here goes......In following the flow of oDNA as described in the latest RJ book, which one of Jack's parents had the oDNA to begin with? I have a hunch that his dad might have had a touch of it but, needless to say, the whole oDNA thing, as far as Jack is concerned, was left hanging in the breeze.

Bluesman Mike Lindner Wrote:Well, I imagine Jack's parents were doin' the duo. But maybe CERTAIN FORCES wanted--needed!--him to be conceived.I'm sure the means by which it happened is somewhat standard :p I meant like maybe there was something special about the place where it happened, kind of like the Monroe thing. Or maybe the trigger gene is just recessive and Jack ended up with an active copy from his parents. I wonder if it's a sex-linked trait. Oh the things we could learn from Otherness Genetics 101.
