There's a new book on the real Robinson Crusoe (Alexander Selkirk). Seems like Defoe left out some good parts about the famous castaway, such as his penchant for dancing (and having sex) with goats.

Selkirk was alone on the island, till his "man" Friday appeared. Yet the source of the sqalacious goat story is:

quote:
Her speculations were confirmed by an islander who told her, "You know, Selkirk used goats, and [it] still happens."


It's amazing how knowledgable people are about private goings-on two hundred years ago. It make me wonder about Jesus. Any confirmations out there?

But Selkirk was a Scots from the wilds of Fife (where sheep is mutton ... and oft-times, a wife).
This phenomenon is better explained in the following link:
