"In the most intelligent races, as among the Parisians, there are a large
number of women whose brains are closer in size to those of gorillas than
to the most developed male brains. This inferiority is so obvious that no
one can contest it for a moment; only its degree is worth discussion. All
psychologists who have studied the intelligence of women, as well as poets
and novelists, recognize today that they represent the most inferior forms
of human evolution and that they are closer to children and savages than
to an adult, civilized man. They excel in fickleness, inconstancy, absence
of thought and logic, and incapacity to reason. Without doubt there exist
some distinguished women, very superior to the average man, but they are
as exceptional as the birth of any monstrosity, as, for example, of a
gorilla with two heads; consequently, we may neglect them entirely.

			-Gustave Le Bon, 1879

I posted this fairly recently:

I was fortunate enough to have my laptop with me the last time I was at
Loch Ness and was able to record this ascii drawing as proof that Nessy
is alive and well.

This seemed like a fun one to try....

A little tweaking on my last nessie, gave me this version:
