You are thinking of the humunculous theory (I don't guarantee the spelling on that one, btw). And as to which society, well, um, ours (meaning the West); the theory is also fairly modern AFAIK (meaning the Enlightenment, not Ancient Greece or some such).
It was also theorized that the male's left testicle produced girls and the right produced boys, so if you wanted to ensure the sex of your baby, you tied off the undesired testicle. Needless to say, this technique was flawed.
Thank you, Burrell.
I'll re-ask the other question I asked in Bitches, just because there's a slightly different group, here. Does anyone know of a site that might have a table or list of the various theories? I'm thinking something like
The Romans thought... The Celts thought... The people of India thought...
etc. Google has given me only a smidgen of--I can't even call it love--it's teased me, basically.
By the way, I'm not asking for anything important. I am just wondering. Thanks again, everyone.
I have a phone interview at 10. It's for a job I'm not sure I want, least of all because I didn't catch the company name when she called me to set it up yesterday. Oops.
Real World Metropolis
This one threw me because I was expecting German dystopia, and got superheroes.
I've signed up for BARBRI's "self-study" program.
I used Micromash, which is another self-study program. I put fewer hours in than the Bar-Bri people and still passed. It's doable. But the thing that worked for me: three weeks straight of making flashcards. Flashcards, flashcards, flashcards!
Real World Metropolis
Aquaman gets no respect.
But that's OK, because he sucks.
Good luck with that, Dana.
OK, it's really too late to ask this question, but: I left a quiche in my turned-off oven for like 7 hours yesterday. Do you think it would go bad? I'm hoping not, since I just ate part of it.
Oh, that's cool; I didn't know that. But you don't live here, right?
Correct. I'm a federal employee in DC, living in the VA suburbs. For employee-attorneys, the feds only want you to have a bar membership in some state. There are actually several UNC alums/NC bar members around here (fitting, since it's banking regulation).
Good luck with the interview, Dana.

And really, with Seth it probably could have gone either way. Though I suspect that superhero action figures are easier to find.
Heh, Metropolis action figures would be right up there with the "My Dinner With Andre" action figures.
