I don't know why this post is one of the most popular of all times here, but I just discovered a relevant illustration to go with it: Bosco wrote a post in which he links to a whole bunch of pictures of a popular mascot (almost as popular as Professor Steve Steve).

Hey Bora,
Thanks for the link.
Had a really fun time meeting all your friends, real and virtual, in Berkeley. Thanks for explaining Plos One to me, I think I get it. And it is the future.
p.s. I took all the photos in my last trip to Europe.

Speaking of 'threading'...
In the fantasy Astra and Flondrix the author reveals that elves have two, while dwarfs' are threaded. Gor a dwarf sexual compatibility involves handedness, and sex most often includes pulleys and ropes. It can be a dizzying experience for the male.
