>Otztal Valley, ITALY -- The mainstream media reported widely on "Otzi",
>the 5,477-year-old Stone Age man found mummified in a melting glacier
>high in the Italian Tyrolean Alps.  The U.S. media did not, however, share
>a gripping detail that was reported in Italy, Austria, Switzerland and
>elsewhere: there was sperm in Otzi's anal canal.

>"The Tyrolean scholars have not given this little detail any special

>Homosexual Initiative Vienna, Austria's leading gay organization,
>"but there can only be one explanation: Otzi had sex with another man
>in the Alps!"

>"The tight-assed Tyrolean scholars were very uncomfortable even having
>to acknowledge it," _Lambda_ said, "but Otzi is the first known homosexual
>man that enjoyed being fucked. ...Otzi was the passive partner--of this
>there is absolutely no doubt...The sperm has been carbon-dated."
>
>Otzi, named for the Otztal Valley on the Italian/Austrian border, was
>found intact from the day he possibly froze to death in a flash snowstorm,
>in 3485 B.C.  He was discovered by hikers.
>
>Aged 25-35, Otzi was probably a herdsman from a nearby valley settlement.
>He was carrying a copper ax, a quiver and arrows, a dagger with a flint blade,
>a woven grass sheath, and a wooden backpack frame, among other things.
>
>He had tattoos on his back.  His only jewelry was a small stone disk with thin
>leather strips pulled through it, knotted at the top and free at the bottom.
>His clothes were leather.
>
>According to the Zurich, Switzerland, newspaper _Blick_: "Since the homosexual
>innuendo has made the rounds, polititians in the North and South Tyrol regions
>suddenly have less interest in poor Otzi.  Even the souvenir business has
>dropped off.  And in Otztal they're afraid they're going to end up being
>called 'Homo Valley'."
