======================================

Man.

Oh ... you're going to love this. Here's the question. Is man man ...
or is man woman? Methinks the answers are going to vary ... depending
upon which side of the fence one resides. And the answer is ...
man is woman! It gets a tad complicated ... so listen up.

Of course ... you may all well ask how I come to this conclusion ...
and in fact ... why even pursue this tack. First the why. I have this
pair of "Man" cufflinks in gold ... though I must admit the fellows do
not seem to be too thrilled at having been portrayed. Perhaps they've
heard this tale before. And now to the how ...

According to my source ... Man ... in the original old Norse language
.... meant Woman. The name Man was the word used to describe the Moon
.... creatress (note feminine ending) of all living creatures. Ancient
sacred love songs were composed in tribute to the female Moon and her
earthly incarnations: Women. The songs were called: Mansongr ...
which translates into Woman-Songs. Oh ... and there's more me lassies
and lassies ... for Man is clearly evanescing into an ever dissipating
memory soon to be forgotten by word smiths.

A Moon-goddess--it would seem--once appeared as a Fairy Queen who
led the entire population of males into the sea where they perished.
No men were left. Just women ... and more women. Today ... it becomes
apparent to anyone with logical thought ... that man no longer roams
the earth. Which brings to mind a question about this whole
Massachusetts thing ... but I believe it best to let that one go by.

Mana ... also at times called Mania ... a derivative of the word Man
.... was a Goddess with maternal powers, magical powers, supernatural
force, and a tendency to drift into a state of lunacy. (Note Luna for
moon, etc.) Mana at times ruled the underworld which many of you may
have thought was ruled by some sort of male-type creature. No no. A
female runs things down there.

Mana was also known as the Moon Goddess who gave birth to the race
of Man ... I mean Woman ... which is what Man originally meant anyway.
Ye gads ... this is not easy.

So there it is ... Man does not exist ... only Woman. For those of you
who occasionally tend to look down and say whoa ... hey ... that's a
man-thing ... to you I say it matters not a whit. My books ... heavily
laden with scientific research ... state quite clearly that there are
no men ... my cufflinks and the male of the species notwithstanding.
Still ... I repeat ... when you look at these cufflinks you might now
well understand why these chaps seem so unhappy.

For those of you who are new to this thing called Tidbits...may I
direct you to my home page at www.tyler-adam.com where you will scroll
down the left side menu till you get to the area that says Tidbits
Graphics ... and then click on the link that says: Man ... where
you'll see an image of a pair of yellow gold Man cufflinks.

And there ya have it.
That's it for this week folks.
Catch you all next week.
