A: Because blond guys are even dumber.
I think Leo Lyons must be a blond guy.

You dummies! Let's imagine for a moment that someone painted a picture just like that of Banni and his wife and the painter leaves off the navel from each of them. That would look pretty dumb, wouldn't it? In presenting the painting to Banni, the first thing he would notice is the missing navels. So according to Banni, that would leave subtle clues to the painter's true beliefs? Or would it be because the painter had absurd notions that portraits of people should not include the navel, unlike Banni's portrait that was painted with navels because the painter knew that humans have navels. Maybe an oversight since it was intended to be a portrait of "Adam and Eve"; or he knew he would be criticized for leaving off the navels, or that the portrait would look stupid?
I remember not too many years ago when nude paintings/photos of men and women in Japan had to have the genitals air-brushed out to make them illegible. There were no leaves or lumps, just smooth flesh. Does that mean the artist/photographer left subtle clues to his/her beliefs?? Good lord, Banni, are you running out of something to do? Go join an "offended" group somewhere; there's plenty of them around.
BTW; if any of us had seen that picture before you posted and commented on it, I wonder how many of us would have even paid attention to the navels? Had they not been there, that would have been noticed. Why? Because humans have navels. If humans evolved from scum and slime, why did we need navels to begin with?
