>>>>>While the Inuit and Aleuts cursed mightily and frequently (aided by their versatile cursing paddles) their very lives depended upon being able to fend off Arctic Amazons and witches intent upon stealing their masculinity or just plain killing them for a quick meal. Arctic Amazons have a fondness for human flesh which is why you find so few bones buried in the north. After a hearty meal of Inuit hunter the Amazons would cast the bones into the ocean where they would freeze and become part of the great arctic ice pack eventually to be redistributed in southern climes when the ice pack melted much to the consternation of South American anthropologists.<<<<<< Reminds me of a book by George Chapelle years ago (He was the author of many thrilling adventure books in the '30s with titles such as "Through the Alimentary Canal with Gun and Camera"). There was one whose name escapes me narrated by a scholarly gentleman who traveled through the Arctic. He might have been an ancestor of Dr. Inverbon; certainly wrote like one... He had a traveling companion on his explorations up there; a striking eskimo woman named "Snak".
