'''Structural inheritance''' is the transmission of a trait in a living [[organism]] by a self-perpetuating spatial structures. This is in contrast to the transmission of digital information such as is found in [[DNA]] sequences, which accounts for the vast majority of known [[genetic]] variation.

The '''Willy on Wheels''' (Often called '''Willy''' or '''WoW''') is a mysterious entitiy, who claims to be a either an ancient [[Willys]] automobile, a [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|Wikipedia vandal]] or a [http://www.bachelorette.com/winupwilonwh.html willy on wheels].
