And for the
lovelorn, or those in need of sage advice, there is always Sir
Charles Grandiose. The column is a lovely bit of Victorian
spoofery, delightfully wicked, often scathing, and you can find it

Sir Charles,
I know you're interested in
genetics. But did you know that there are sexual 'positions' you can
try to increase your chances of having either a boy or a girl,
according to your preference? So it occurred to me, hey, maybe
there's a position during the--you know, procreative process!--that
determines whether a baby is stupid. Or whether a baby is born ugly!
So if you know what the positions are to have a stupid ugly baby,
you could avoid them!
So Sir Charles, do you know
what the position is to have a stupid and ugly baby?
Just curious,
Marcus
Sir Charles replies:
My dear boy,
Why not ask your mother?
One wagers she learned from experience, if you know what one means.
With highest regards, one
remains,
Sir Charles Grandiose
