The US seems to be one of the few (if not the only) countries where circumcision is prevalant, but not for religious reasons - how did the idea that you are born with more penis than you need come about?

Me too, I find it weirder the other way round. I also agree with Nancy about the rim around the head being the best part. Uncircumcized all the way!

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
