Sorry, B.D., but that is equestrian excrement.  EVERYONE is born with it:
"it" just happens to be different from everyone elses, in subtle ways.  Some
people photograph.  Some fix mechanical things.  Some do flower
arrangements.  Some solve differential equations.  Some procrastinate.  Some
exploit time dilation and seem to fit 25 hours into a day.  Some write.
Some plan battles.  Some meet interesting people.  Some just are in a way
which others aren't.

I no longer believe in "normal" or "average".
