Here's an interesting sidebar and I wonder if it's just me.  A little
rippling?  Niiiiice.  ;o)  But bigger'n a house?  Ewwww!  I find nothing
appealing about the "buff" bodies like Ahnald Schwartzenegger used to strut
in his heyday.  Like I said, I don't know how all women feel, but none of my
female friends find huuuuuge muscles appealing.  It would seem the male homo
sapiens of old (pre-Agricultural Revolution) would've been been sinewy with
SOME muscle mass and definition, but not pound upon pound of bulk.  Would my
long stares and slobbering over the body type I described above be the
result of what women were attracted to for thousands of years?

As for pictures, I've seen a few but can't tell you where to find them.  The
men  look just as I've already described.  The women?  I don't pay that much
attention (nyuck, nyuck).
