Hi Wim,
Sorry, this one slipped past me. You're right, it is funny about
Rushton and his mall survey. I found out about his survey after my
mall survey question to you, so I can't give him credit for it.
Americans just love their malls; Canadians too, I guess.
I wonder if he asked anyone for a demonstration, you know, stood
several feet away, holding a cup, saying put it here, big boy!
Best,
Mark

Dear Mark H. (& Platt),
You wrote 16 Jun 2004 21:20:53 -0700:
'Rushton was reprimanded by his school, the University of Western
Ontario, for accosting people in a local shopping mall and asking
them how big their penises were and how far they could ejaculate. "A
zoologist doesn't need permission to study squirrels in his
backyard," he groused (Rolling Stone, 10/20/94).'
This is really funny! Especially after you, Mark, suggested 21 May
2004 20:33:31 -0700: 'Go to a good-sized mall in any American city,
and stop 100 people at random. Ask them if they believe that Jesus
Christ was the son of God, put on earth by God to be crucified for
their sins, so that they may have a clean slate, live a good
Christian life, then be rewarded with eternal bliss in heaven. I bet
that AT LEAST 59 of them will say yes. If they can believe this, why
not all of Revelations?'
Did you get your idea to suggest this from your study of Rushton or
is it a general habit of Americans to poll each other in shopping
malls? DOES one need permission to study homo sapiens in American
shopping malls? I must confess that I wouldn't be able to tell how
big my penis is and how far I can ejaculate. I only measured my penis
once, some 30 years ago, when I had just discovered that its length
differs in different circumstances. (Did Rushton mention specific
circumstances in which his study objects should measure theirs?)
As Platt is so intent on bringing back conversations to the MoQ:
Platt, does obsession with penis length and knowing it by heart count
as an indication of 'being biological' in your interpretation of the
MoQ? (-; If so, maybe you should ask Rushton for his poll data! Maybe
the number of e-mails one gets nowadays offering methods for penis
enlargement is then also an indication for the sorry state of homo
sapiens?!
With friendly greetings,
Wim
