   Wow, well that's more than I know about these things. I'll take your   
   word for it.

   So is this also possible with two B parents, i.e. two BO parents, I guess?

   How would it arise naturally? You mean with the two AO parents, you   
   mentioned previously? Where did those parents get their own O's from?

   You mean like totally separate typing than the A's, B's, and O's?

   When the Cylons got the disease from that space capsule, it was my   
   understanding that it was something that came from the Final Five. So   
   why would the FF bring with them a disease that they themselves were   
   susceptible to.   
      
   My preferred outcome would've been that the Cylons and Humans came   
   originally from Earth, then went to Kobol, and then the 12 colonies. The   
   return to Earth would've been the mystery trip back to their origins.   
   Well, then there were two Earths, Earth I and Earth II, and that just   
   made it all confusing.
