Ah, a clue to the origin of The Wide One!  No one has ever presented
_documented_ proof of the birthplace of El Dupree.  Dr. Renning's
discovery is an important step toward solving the mystery!  Even
though it's common knowledge that El Bubba Grande generally squats
in Mejave Mai (Stavros is working diligently on this little-studied
aspect, funded in part by a grant from Tidy Bowl), it is virtually
certain that he was not born there.  If he had been, the residents
almost certainly would have put him in a headsack and drowned him
like an unwanted newborn pup the moment they noticed the razor
stubble on his baby butt, according to the ancient custom.  Thus
Mejave Mai is ruled out as a possible birthplace, though the town
council may yet authorize the headsack/drowning thing.
