 --- thodakkam---   ..........

 Village Thalaivar: What is your final decision ... Muniyaa?

       Munivaelan : I am very black. Karupayi_um (wife) very black.
                    Then how is possible for us to get a very fair
                    complexion baby? Some mistake had happened
                    somewhere. I can't live no longer with this
                    misbehaved wife. You please decapitate both of
                    us.

               VT : So ... you are arguing that you shouldn't get 
                    very fair baby because you both are black ...!
                    Is it correct Muniyaa?

               MV : Amanga! yes, it is.

               VT : Muniyaa! A small request before telling the 
                    final solution for this problem! Can you do it?

               MV : "yes! I can do it!"

               VT : Here you go! you just chew this betal pack 
                    right here, right now.
                 
         Munivaelan is about to spit the unwanted crushed betal
        (waste) from his mouth after chewing.Suddenly VT stopped him.

               VT : Muniyaa ... you just listen to my words very
                    carefully before you spit this waste (etchil)!
                    The color of the betal (wetrilai) is green. 
                    The color of tobacco (seeval) is pale-red. The
                    lime (chunambu) is pure-white. You grinded
                    everything together right before. So .....
                    when you spit, the etchil color should be
                    either green or pale-red or pure-white. if you
                    spit the etchil with other than those colors,
                    then I will pull out your tongue and will smash
                    it (narukkiduvaen) right before the public.
                    Come on spit!
            
               WV : Became voiceless by hearing/seeing this fact.

         The next moment there were heavy clappings/noise from the
         crowd just like those from OPRAH show. Munivaelan fell down
         on VT's feet and request VP to pardon him.
                                    ..........        --- mutrum---    

    Actually, it is true. Sometimes couples with black complexion
    get very fair babies (vice-versa). Some couples are very happy
    about the fair babies because their family members are all black,
    some couples are frustrated like Muniyan couple, and others
    are living as usual with just don't bother logic.

                             I know many of those in my home-town.
   I couldn't find the exact scientific reason for this probabilistic
   nature. Can anyone exploit this super-natural bahaviour a little
   further (doctors/scientists/genealogists)?

  For electronic-engineers:
  --------------------------
                            Can anyone try this model with simple
  logic gates (or/and/not/nor/nand/exclusives). I can model it
  using complex sequential logic (flip-flops). Flip-flop output
  depends on the clock pulse. So the couples output depend on the
  time of .....-......(adults only).  Is this correct?
