Eskimo Insight

My current AIM profile reads (with screen names changed to protect the innocent):

Mykala (11:46:48 PM): maybe eskimos don’t know how to love
Mykala (11:47:01 PM): maybe, since all they can do is rub noses, they can’t fall in love

And because I read it recently, I realized that was my profile, so Mikaela’s comments (not Mykala who is my girlfriend, but Mikaela with whom I suffered through science classes in high school with) finally made sense. They are as follows:

Mikaela: now, as a ex-resident of alaska, home to many different native alaskan tribes [including the eskimo] i beg to differ with Mykala’s comment on “don’t know how to love.” the rubbing noses is actually done to prevent the the lips from freezing when saliva is left as a residue from kissing.

Auto response from Alex:
depeche mode - precious

Mikaela: actually, alex, i don’t know really

Eskimos + love equal infinite questions.

if that were the case just think of the many other daily activities that would be hampered by freezing. Peeing comes to mind.
