You're too kind.  It's a burden, but I try to bear it unselfishly. /me bows to the inevitable ... YES, Pep! It was of course you whom I had in mind. How very clever of you to spot it ...  Have you ever read the eponymous HG Wells story? It's entirely apropos. Actually, no, I haven't. I guess I will need to now, won't I? _____________________

Serendipitously, it's the anniversary of HG Wells's death *today*, which means that his works will be out of copyright in exactly seven years time.

Do you suppose Sartre noticed? Or cared? One more warm body more or less in the big bed with Olga and Wanda - would he have cared? Pep (He was in on the con, anyway; hell of a sense of literary humour that J-P! )_____________________

By the way, that's a terrible acronym, "SGTWOH". How do you pronounce it? I see it as "Sergeant Whoa". And besides, it could also mean "Sweaty GIRLS Typing..."
But to respond to the original question: Nobody Knows. They are certainly out there. And the possibility of having sex with one of them causes some guys, and some RL lesbians, a lot of concern. I'm with Chris Norse, and a lot of others on this subject. I take every avatar at face value. It doesn't matter what set of chromosomes is pounding the keys. _____________________

It's from being related to otters. Everyone is related to others somehow. Oh...you meant OTTERS. I thought you said, "others". _____________________

Pep (I am sure you can find a copy in your own bookshop though, and then sell it as second hand after you have read it.) No need...wonderful thing, internet. http://www.online-literature.com/wellshg/3 BTW Wells was married to one of the 'first feminists' and was a bit socially progressive - not surprising. The short story was also a television play in the '50s, a friend of mine saw it and talked about how it impacted the whole of his future life. This is why I was encouraged to read the story. Absolutely love "The Time Machine" and so much in it seems to be true today - and we seem headed toward the room of books disintegrated into dust, too. Or perhaps, made into kindle-ing. _____________________

It's from being related to otters. Sorry - I meant the extra human chromosome. I think humans have 23 pairs?. One of the extra 6 must be set to switch Oxford or Cambridge. But I must say, ferrets must be excellent swimmers and be very acrobatic if they punt from the river. _____________________

Punting from the river isn't hard, if you lose track of how long the punt is. Oh look at those whiskers - soooooo sweet _____________________
