Well you wanted thoughts, and from me, thoughts is always finding holes. ;P

The incest-thing is a good point, by the way. I hadn't thought of that, but it makes the basic concept make more sense.

I am however also curious as to why a male tossed out due to a female death can't be readopted by another family. Also, do those males, forever consigned to the unattached-males-house, form their own sort of "household" hierarchy?
