So my wife and I had a little baby girl last week.  A fellow diver 
comes up to me and says, "so you had a girl right?"  I say yes how 
did you know.  Well he says that he had read an article in the late 
70's in which a study was done that showed that male divers who dive 
regularly over a certain depth are more likely to father girls then 
boys.  Something to do with the x chromosone being made recessive 
from diving.  He really couldn't remember the details.

Well I started to think about some of the guys that I dive with and I 
have yet to come up with one that has any sons!

Now is this coincedence?  Granted it is not 100% true I am sure but 
has  anyone read this article or am I getting my genes pulled? :)

Yes I had heard that also.
Well here is an exception, and I was a commercial diver at the time.  
The "Y" had no problem expressing it's self.
