"Duh, are you tall?"  by QueenAmzn


I have always despised the fools who believe that the word "Amazon" means "tall, sexy woman with large breasts."

First off, NOT ALL AMAZONS ARE TALL!! I understand that some men have a difficult time grasping this notation, but we musn't forget that these are the same individuals who claim to have aided Vice President Al Gore in his creation of the Internet.

Second, SEXY? Um...I wouldn't recommend calling an Amazon sexy, especially not to her face. Take Velasca for instance (From Xena's "The Quest"). A sweet, peace-loving Amazon with a desire to be queen (this, of course, she keeps to herself). AND THEN SHE GETS HIT ON BY AUTOLYCUS, THE KING OF THIEVES. Almost instantly, she is transformed to an Artemis-defying-and-temple-desecrating-homicidal-goddess, breathing fire and [literally] hurling lightning bolts.

And now for the big one (no pun intended), the LARGE BREASTS. Okay, according to Greek Mythology, the ancient Amazons burned off their right breast so that they could more efficiently wield a bow. Though it is debatable whether or not they really did this (female archers in today's Olympic Games simply tie it down), nowhere in the Greeks Myths were the Amazons (in general) said to have had breasts the size of bowling balls.
