    (voice a la Jon Stewart) ...ohhh, Anonymous...

    ...clearly you missed the boat.

    When I said that "surgical removal of the foreskin for "hygiene" is analagous to surgically removing the eyelids so that you can keep your eyeballs "clean" I was drawing an analogy, hence the word "analagous" with an outlandish example (the eyelids) precisely to indicate how absurd, in my view, the removal of the foreskin is. Analagous.

    A dictionary. It's a wonderful thing.
