Friday Funnies

ABC radio has a daily (weekdays) interview program that features an hour long interview with someone, occasionally famous but more often just interesting. A couple of days ago it was with the Sydney public transport historian who spoke about the over 150 year history of Sydney Harbour ferries. Today was a South African woman who had migrated to New Zealand who had, basically on a dare from her work colleagues, joined a stand-up comedy competition and won it. She's on a comedy tour of Australia at the moment. (http://www.abc.net.au/radio/programs/conversations/)

Anyway, in the course of the interview the fact that she was a lesbian came up, and she talked about meeting her wife and their decision to have children. When they discovered that a baby was on the way, she told of calling both of their families to tell them the happy news. When they called her wife's family, someone on the other end of the line excitedly asked whether the pregnancy was planned or not.

hahahahaha. John Varley's book "Wizard" has a character, a young lesbian from a colony of all women. She experiments with sex with a guy but had NO idea that this is how babies are made, and that it could happen unintentionally.
