Fdot's comment about the Culcari Overlords (may the planets burst like soap bubbles in their awesome and terrible wake) made me laugh out loud. Dave S.: You funny man.

Only gay people get to have sex? What's up with that? I don't want stinging tentacles or is it just a test to find a truly worthy man? Well, that might work, but I still think this is some kind of gay revenge plot to make sex icky for me. And besides, we have gay marriage in Canada so anyone north of that parallel should be exempt in some way. Okay, that is no fair. Only gay people get to have sex? What’s up with that?

It's only afterwards that you're like, "Hm. That was weird." Kinda like Esperanto. Sex is icky only after. Before and during, it’s great and seems to make perfect sense.

Sex in general was created because the Gods have a wicked, nasty and above all messy sense of humor. And by Gods don't even get me started on the ridiculous night of drinking among the Gods that must have been responsible for the creation of Aunt Flo. Straight sex is icky too.

I never heard of it before you and David brought it up. I'll definitely look into it. As for saying that English would be the official language, I was just saying that because we Americans love English, and the idea of learning another language frightens us. Unless you're under the age of 10. Bill: That’s really interesting. I never heard of it before you and David brought it up. I’ll definitely look into it.

I am not sure that English is as widespread or useful as people claim. I would like to argue the case for Esperanto as the international language. It is a planned language which belongs to no one country or group of states. Take a look at www.esperanto.net Esperanto works! I've used it in speech and writing in a dozen countries over recent years. Indeed, the language has some remarkable practical benefits. Personally, I've made friends around the world through Esperanto that I would never have been able to communicate with otherwise. And then there's the Pasporta Servo , which provides free lodging and local information to Esperanto-speaking travellers in over 90 countries. In the past year I have had guided tours of Berlin and Milan in the planned language. I have discussed philosophy with a Slovene poet, humour on television with a Bulgarian TV producer. I've discussed what life was like in East Berlin before the wall came down, how to cook perfect spaghetti, the advantages and disadvantages of monarchy, and so on. I recommend it, not just as an ideal but as a very practical way to overcome language barriers. Why would English be the universal language?
