Mel's Fantastical Insights

I have been doing a lot of research lately about the Vikings and their settlement in North America. So far I have discovered that although the Vikings were terrifying the Europeans, the Natives of America were terrifying them. The Vikings did not spend much time in North America particularly Newfoundland because of these Natives. Questions are raised of why not? Couldn't they get more Vikings to come? Did they spread diseases to the Indians? Why didn't they learn the tools that the Indians used in order to survive the Little Ice Age? All good questions. I have no profound answer but refer all those who are interested to Jared Diamond's Collapse for more insights.

I attended the ballet today, Sleeping Beauty. And though most of the dancers were female, there was one lead male who frankly just needed to cover himself a little more. I can't imagine that wearing that tights of tights would be comfortable for men, as most women cannot stand them either. It just seems like the tights on male ballerinas are indecent and it would only take a few more inches of fabric to make their shirts long enough to cover the buldge. Perhaps we could pass an constitutional amendment to make this happen.
