I think some of the Layla's were named for Eric Clapton's song, too. I worked with a young woman named Layla a decade or so ago and she said it was Clapton-inspired.

Backwoodsman, maybe I'm a bit slow, but I didn't get the "double-jointed" reference.

The Tristan & Isolde story reminds me of the poor young male yabby (Oz crayfish) hounded to death by the older female yabby when my hubby kept them in a fish tank. I think the motivation might have been sexual, or let's be a bit coy about it, "procreative". It changes the concept of sexual predator a bit because she seemed to have no second thoughts about eating him when she finished hounding him to death. Talk about "off topic"! That topic still gives me the heeby-geebies when I think about that poor little yabby.

Back to the topic of the thread, eh?
