Ah yes, your first mention is from the old 'incas were the first seed, a lab experiment by a juvenile from a more advanced planet' theory first proposed in print by von Whatisname ... and certainly it is supported [apart from the obvious horselessness of both cultures, as evidenced by them worshipping respectively the english cavalry and caballería castellana] by anecdotal evidence, and the fact that indeed, seasonally and under influencing wind conditions, in both Scotland and the Andes it is definitely cold enough to freeze the balls off a crass McConachie, the tribal custom of whom is to wear nothing under the kilt, yet to this day of space-age polar underwear, and which phenomenon has for eons provided a resource which, in both the boreal and austral regions, when ground and incorporated with the dung of various species and extruded into the used condoms of the turistas, formed for the inhabitants a treat which was, if less than tasty, at least nutritious.

However, one is naggingly reminded of the fact that all anecdotal reference from that region originates from a culture which saw fit to give to a certain mountain lake the appellation 'Titicaca', and which is known to eat purple potatoes.

As for your secondary case - Pshaw, it is all piffle, sir - i refer you to the Concordance for the Laphroiag User's Manual, in its modern treatment of the translation of Chapter 108, Verse 14 - ' ... a little scotch for the sake of your stomach', then goes on to say, after the 'fill each other's cup, but drink not from the same athletic supporter' reference - 'They were british israelites, not scottish israelites, cor blimey, just ask them, they're mostly down on Harley Street' ... but clearly you are correct, as far as that goes, in saying 'One can immediately see the analogy.'

'SI ... fixed before the end of time?' - lol ... yes, perfect - a Monty Python reference.
