	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
of suspected that...

	Okay, okay. The new Leonard Cohen, then. Personally, I'm more of a
Roxy Music/Brian Eno sort of guy, myself - I was just kidding about Barry.
