In polygamous societies, what happens to all the extra men?
Nobody has ever been able to explain this to me satisfactorily, and it just DOESN'T ADD UP.

Links for language teachers
I have noticed that I get a lot of hits from people searching "present simple" and "ESL," and assume that this is language teachers looking for ideas or lesson plans. The following links are good places to start.
ESL Lounge Here you will find lesson plans organised by level. A fantastically useful site for busy teachers, and easy to navigate.
British Council Here lesson plans are organized by topic. There are more teaching activities in the 'downloads' section.
The Internet TESL Journal
They have not updated this page for a while, but there is still a lot you might find useful.
Humanising Language Teaching
This is an online journal, good for ideas, inspiration, and especially good towards the end of semester when you're feeling not quite human.
Dave's ESL Cafe
Almost too much to wade through, but a very useful resource. Lots of links to other sources.
Karin's ESL PartyLand
This is a page specifically dealing with teaching simple present and present progressive. I have not tried any of these, but there are a lot of ideas here, and they look good. At the very least you will be inspired.
Good luck!

I am not an expert by any means, but I think those societies have a lot of wars and stuff, so the extra men are killed off.
Carrie got to it before I did. Also, I think you have to be able to afford to support and/or buy all those wives; only the very rich get to be polygamous.
Oh man - now I'm going to be thinking about this all day.
They don't get laid regularly.
There is nothing to suggest that all men (or the majority of men) have to have partners for a society to be succesful.
Yeah, the sensitive guys just waft around feeling ... uh... unsatisfied.
*snort*
When you find out, let us all know, mkay? I've got a few single girlfriends who'd pay fot the info. :-)
