What.

This person is lucky they're too dead for me to get my hands on them.

[ruede]

Oh, come on... ; )

...it's harmless, pro-female doctrine, for once!! :}

[skatche]

I assume from the "Duh!" that this is a paraphrase or translation of the original 15th century document.

[ruede]

*laughs* That was my first reaction, too. : D

Well, that's certainly a refresing opposition to the "woman was created of man's rib, therefore is inferior to man in every way" perspective.

[ruede]

*laughs* I know! :} I was impressed.

...it's harmless, pro-female doctrine, for once!! :}

hear hear!!

[ruede]

*nods*... or e-mail me. But I will see you tonight! Awh. *sigh*

So it turns out that "Duh" was coined by a 15th century fransiscan, or do you believe that it predatest his piece? :D

And of course men's water gets dirty no matter how much they wash - they're MADE from dirt. You don't want to wash them too much though, when the water finally does come clean it'll be because there's nothing left.

Or alternately, 15th century men tended to have much dirtier jobs than 15th century women. Hmmmm.

Undoubtedly, there is a Latin cognate of "duh"! Duh! That, or it's just innately human to say it. *laughs*

You aptly summarized his thesis, yes. : D
