Freaking brilliant project!  Though I have to say I'm more than a
little surprised by all the prudish and juvenile responses here.
You'd think this was the Illinois legislature and that you'd
never heard the medical term vagina before.

I shared the link with my friend Jeri.  I think those of you who
know who I'm talking about will agree that she will appreciate
some playful and pleasure minded "outside the box" thinking
about inside the box hacking.  Opens up a whole new realm of
adventurous ideas! Way, way cool.

in peace
