*cough cough* not! *cough cough*

but apparently thats what they believed

ooooooh, the interesting things you learn doing random papers in college.

ditto on the Teague thing. I was watching a documentary once(I swear I'm not a freak!) and a Chinese lady actually said she thought binded feet were beautiful. Her husband agreed and said they were "beautiful and delicate". That is one thing I will never understand!
