 Great, but there's still no Jewish mitochondria. 
 Judaism is a social religion, not a separate race 
 of humans. That was my point.

It isn't a race, but it is a tribe. It's social
in the sense that it can incorporate new members, but
the genetic component is very important; the descendants
of converts are considered genetically Jewish. Plus
which, matrilineal descendants of Jews never *stop*
being Jewish, halakhically speaking, even if they
convert to another religion.

On the other hand, The womb can't lie (or It's a
wise child that knows its own father) is more than
sufficient explanation for the matrilineal descent
system; there's no reason to suspect intuition,
however inchoate, of mitochondria was involved. It's
really just simple observation. If you want to be
absolutely certain og the genetic inheritance, you
have to go by motherhood.

The Jews consider the child's mother to be proof of being a Jew.  A
man can say, That's my kid and I'm a Jew, so the kid is a Jew, but
that doesn't carry the religious validity as my mom is Jewish. 
The man could be lying, but a womb can't lie.

Actually you would be wrong about that.  In fact, just the other day,
on Jon Stewart's Daily Show, a DNA expert analyzed Jon's DNA and told
him where he came from to such a degree that he said, Yes, Jon, you
belong in this group on this chart right here, and, yep, they were and
so are you -- JEWISH.

The word race is getting fuzzier and fuzzier.  Who is a pure
anything these days?  

When they finally have a machine at the corner mall that takes a cheek
swab from you, analyzes it, and then tells you what's what, WOW will
there be some skeletons in closets found.  Let's see what yours says,
Honey . . . oh my GAWD...you're 10% Jew, 17% Arab, 14% African, and
59% chalky caucashish.  The wedding is off! You have to be pure!  

Like that.

So, in fact, there is such a thing as Jewish mitochondria.

Thanks Richard for making me get a bit clearer about this -- I never
actually had the concept Jewish mitochondria when I wrote the
satirical piece, but now, thanks to you, I see that I can use such a
phrase and be scientifically valid.

The mitochondria reproduce by cell division. This process is not
regulated by the DNA of the nucleus -- the mitochondrial DNA
determines this.  When the big cell reproduces, a whole mitochondria
floats over to the newborn cell before it entirely splits away from
the first half.  The mitochondria do their dividing and reproducing
with their own mind so to speak -- although, if a cell needs a lot
more energy, the mitochondria sense this and make more copies of
themselves so that the cell has more ATP.  There's communication of a
sort between the two beings -- mito-DNA and nuc-DNA.

So, I think you're wrong or I've got to reread about this.  The male
sperm cells also have mitochondria to get the ATP to make their tails
wiggle, but that mitochondria (from the male's mother) is located
around the tail and that drops off and doesn't enter the egg of the
female.  The female's egg thus has only mitochondria from her mother.

I'm tellin' ya, the female's got all their secret plans locked up
inside that mitochondria and that the cell as a whole must be paying a
big price to keep her satisfied in order to get her ATP.

Funny, eh?  Men turn out to be, microbiologically speaking, whores.

Talk about having a feminine side!  Phi!

How about having an alien inside every cell of your body!  Just

I love this conversation, because, the good truth about this is that
we belong together, work together, fit together, and gender is

carrying the gonads or being the thermostat of metabolism or whatever?
 No matter which side of our biologies are the regulators of whatever

The original reason for the mother lineage in judaism has to do with the
families having been matrilineal.  By the way, it is possible, and has been
a large part of human history, to have matrilineal and patriarchal
concurrent within a society, though matrilineal precedes patriarchal in
judaism as well as other cultures.
