John - Great stuff. This reminds me of the time I asked my dad, when I was about 7 or so, how a baby is born. I still rememebr that moment to this day. The funny thing though is when I went and told my friends what I had found out, they laughed and thought I was nuts. A couple of months later, when one of our teachers talked about reproduction, many heads in my class turned to look at me. Man, I felt like a genius then. Manish, your story reminds me of a similarly amusing story in Nepal. Apparently, there was this doctor who got posted to a rural area in Nepal where he came across a man who was taking Nilocan and Gulab chakki because the guy's wife complained , "pet dukhyo", and the guy out of kindness decided to take the pills himself thinking the contraceptive would work the same way on him! :)
