So I know that your namesake is a cranky old bastard who lived more than two millenia and, on the way, boned pretty much all women he encountered Virile old fart, yes.
his adopted daughter (Dora), his twin clone daughters (Lorelei Lee and Lapis Lazuli), ............ and his very own mother whom he fished from the past and brought to his joyous home in the future where everyone sleeps with everyone else and the babies that result belong to everyone :-) Incest is best!
a computer who later became a woman just to see what sex was like (Minerva) Now THAT was a bit kinky!

He doesn't know women at all, for starters ;-) This is news? Read any Freud lately? And he was in the "last to know" class. Who except MAYBE women do? And the way you fight among each other, THAT is subject to serious question! |
