The longer the copulation time, the greater the <br>> chance of fertilization of her eggs.<br>> <br>> For some reason, this story reminds me of a line a student wrote in a <br>> paper for my philosophy of religion class some thirty years ago. I <br>> remember it as if it were yesterday. "The Bible," he wrote, "is not a <br>> single book. It is the copulation of many books."<br>> <br>> =======================================================<br>> List services made available by First Step Internet, <br>> serving the communities of the Palouse since 1994. <br>> http://www.fsr.net <br>> mailto:Vision2020@moscow.com<br>> =======================================================<br><br /><hr />Take a break and play crossword puzzles - FREE! <a href='http://games.msn.com/en/flexicon/default.htm?icid=flexicon_ wlmemailtaglinemarch07 ' target='_new'>Play Now!</a></body>
