Makes sense to me!; 30:45 A poly life: monogamy with more partners in this week’s Chicago Tribune, undoubtedly spurred by HBO’s upcoming show, Big Love, is nicely researched and well-interviewed; 35:00 And to cap it off, someone finally married a goat! A Sudanese man has been forced to take a goat as his “wife”, after he was caught having sex with the animal
