- Oh boy! Mickey is having only %99.99 heterosexual sex, with the rest
- being homosexual (since that's about the odds that your phenotype and
- genotype correspond.) It's Schrodinger's Erin! Don't think that I'm trying
- to start another argument over homosexual sex being moral or not - I just
- think this possibility is really funny.

- Mickey is starting to remind me more and more of Ed Anger from the
- Weekly World News, who, in real life, is just a Republican with a really
- warped sense of humor. Mickey's just funning with us, huh? I've always sort

- Okay, okay. The new Leonard Cohen, then. Personally, I'm more of a
