Sun Feb 17, 2008 6:38 pm (PST) Could always ask Leslie herself. I have her
email round her somewhere or ask kathleener on the spockmccoy forum. I know she
has it.
***I asked Leslie who came up with the concept of chenesi first - her,
Johanna Cantor, or someone else. Here's what Leslie said:
"I confess, I came up with that one first. My theory was that, since
male mammals of temperate Earth hang their testicles out in the wind to
keep them cool, male mammals of hot Vulcan would keep them buried deep
inside their bodies for the same reason." - Leslie Fish
Kathy R.

Though every time I hear the word "chensi," I think of the Pokemon Chansey.
Sorlak, who just got a rotten x-over idea involving pokemon. Anyone
got some brain bleach?
