I can't imagine anyone thinking a 30-something Superman kissing his 15-year-old cousin passionately would ever be appropriate. On the one hand, there's the pedophilia thing; and on the other there's the incest thing. <BR/><BR/>Then again, I read some scientist think first cousin marriage isn't that dangerous because first cousins have on 1/16 of the same DNA, which greatly reduces chances of deformities caused by flawed sets of genes passed to a child. However, there was another report that discussed how there is a high degree of genetic disorders amongst the Amish and Bedouin tribes where first cousin marriage is common.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1151499246537208542006-06-28T07:54:00.000-05:002006-06-28T07:54:00.000-05:00Here is his attempt at satisfying his cousin yearn...Here is his attempt at satisfying his cousin yearnin'.
