Well, I bought the "Madonna Issue" of Playboy yesterday - I just wanted to see what a boy toy might look like, and besides |-), "The Girls of Mensa" were suppossed to be in there too (they weren't). To set the story straight, the pictures Playboy published were taken a few years ago (sorry I forgot) when Madonna was picking up a little extra cash as a nude model for posing photography students. The publihed pictures were those taken by the professors. There were two sets (different professors) and both sets were more artsy than suggestive. Not a single photo was of a boy toy, (damn! I still don't know what they look like |-)). Of course the magazine, in general, sucks. Their equalitarian viewpoint seems to stress the ideal that if your wife has a good job your life will be easier (more money, etc.). I admit I liked the part where they predicted the Seattle Seahawks to win the Superbowl, but one premature prediction does not a magazine make. Later, PeterB

(And some of them can even spell, let alone make, er, premature predictions.) Yes, I know I'm nit-picking (oooooooooooh, MIGHT be PMS!!!), but one more thing: since when do egalitarian viewpoints stress ideals that entail IF statements???? Oh well, the supercilious last paragraph WAS kinda cute. Signed, A MENSA girl who knows.

Speaking of DENSA - I heard that a significant number of their members are also members of MENSA, and that an even more significant number could easily qualify for MENSA but join DENSA instead as a reaction against "elitism". BTW, does anyone have DENSA's address? AWR
