Hmm...AMAI is a Suckster original and I've never wondered this before....so I guess the answer is--who cares?

OK, but is her exegesis limited to men (i.e. straight males)? Is she saying males are all remote and such? Or by "men" does she mean
"mankind", which includes women?

Before modern travel methods were developed, island people practiced a lot of inbreeding.

As ever. Let's do it.
Let's play Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? Who wrote the phrase "No man is an island"? John Donne? John Milton? John F. Kennedy? Jon Bon Jovi? Jon Bon Jovi. Too easy. And, if I may say so, a complete load of bollocks. In my opinion, all men are islands. And what's more, now's the time to be one. This is an island age. A hundred years ago, you had to depend on other people. No one had TV or CDs or DVDs or videos... ...or home espresso makers. Actually, they didn't have anything cool. Whereas now, you see... ...you can make yourself a little island paradise. With the right supplies and the right attitude... ...you can be sun-drenched, tropical, a magnet... ...for young Swedish tourists. |

Speaking of wingnut...who was that poster who taught her son how to "hold his t-nut" (read: masturbate) and always complained of greasy doorknobs?
