When the external genitalia appear to be "in between", they are described as ambiguous.

By current estimates, the book originally had 272 pages in 17 quires of 16 pages each [2]. Only about 240 vellum pages remain today, and gaps in the page numbering (which seems to be later than the text) indicate that several pages were already missing by the time that Voynich acquired it. A quill pen was used for the text and figure outlines, and colored paint was applied (somewhat crudely) to the figures, possibly at a later date. See also:

Cheaper sex dolls are inflatable, using air. These lower price-range (less than $50) dolls are usually rather ugly, made of welded vinyl, and bear only a passing resemblance to women or men, but they have an (artificial) vagina or penis and their users are willing to overlook their shortcomings. They often burst at the seams after a few uses. Cheap imported vinyl dolls may be a health risk, if they contain large amo ...

Woody Allen - Early films. His first movie production was What's New, Pussycat? in 1965, for which he wrote the screenplay. It was a largely unpleasant experience for Allen as he was trapped in Paris for six months during the production. Furthermore, the studio never showed much respect for his script, altering the film to the point where it bore little resemblance to Allen's original vision. Allen's first directorial effort was What's Up, Tiger Lily? (1966), in which an existing Japanese spy movie ...
