Well, according to Jane Hill, linguistic anthropologist at the University
of Arizona, people like me are genetic anomalies. Nature selected for
people not to be able to learn languages easily after a certain age,
probably to protect community integrity in early hominids (always be able
to spot the outlander).
I always liked the X-Men too.
Glad Solstice to one and all from Ireland, where they've just discovered a
new passage at Newgrange,
