Lesbians

Chanced upon an article by Siva Choy in today's Straits Times (or was it Newpaper? argh.. such short term memory!)

Anyway, he was writing about the origins of the term 'lesbian' and most likely it was from a Greek island called Lesbos where there once upon a time existed a female poet named Sappho, who was probably misunderstood (dunno because no evidence to point her to be a lesbian nor evidence to say she's not, anyway...) and hence the birth of the term lesbians.

But the funny part was about how he talks about the female inhabitants of Lesbos island (who are now called Lesbians but probably not inclined that way...) was trying to correct the outsiders mindset. You know, they are refered to as Lesbians (because they are from Lesbos island) but they are not lesbians (dun prefer women to men). Anyway, read that article if you're interested. I think it was pretty funny, Mr Choy.
