Well, yes - but there's being short on body hair and there's lacking
patches of hair which appear to be almost always there.  Lacking body
hair is common amongst orientals, yes; but lacking pubic hair *too*?

I've read the book once and don't recall that - but it'd take realistic
threats of physical violence to get me to read the dreadful thing again.

The picture that has just sprung to mind doesn't really bear thinking
about.  Gilbert and Sullivan.  Big bushy Victorian beards.  You do the
rest.

<chuckle>  A nice idea - but it wouldn't have helped and it's a bit
antisocial doing that with someone else in bed...

a) I would be disturbed to find an infant wanking
b) given your tone, I'm surprised you don't call it 'self-abuse' and
warn that it can make you go blind
c) what you need is a nice quiet wank

Good grief, was that in the April 1st edition of New Scientist? 

I don't think many generations of medical students in the dissecting
room, let alone working surgeons and anatomists, would have accidentally
missed noticing  something whose size would make it the largest organ in
a woman's body, by your reckoning. 

Are you sure you aren't thinking of the handbag?

If women have an organ as big as that to induce them to propagate the
species:

1)  It begins to make mens' anatomy look well-designed after all

2)  We men must be an even bigger turn-off than we thought

3)  I shall think twice before shaking a woman's hand in future - you
never know what effect it might have

HTML mail is the Internet equivalent of unprotected sex. The more you
casual you are about it, the more you contribute to a culture of it, and
the greater the risk that *everybody* faces of nasty viral infection.

Just because we can do it (either because of the pill or because of
increased bandwidth and power) doesn't mean it's a good idea.

Mac users are the lesbians of the computing world. It's all very well
our being smug and telling everyone else we don't get those viruses and
that all we worry about is the occasional sore elbow, but nasty
surprises have a habit of being (a) nasty and (b) suprises.
