           I'm not averse to supposing Diabolik was looking for a golden   
   grotto.  Come to it, as long as it was going to be a massive solid   
   gold grotto for the committing of sex acts --- that is, as long as   
   Diabolik had no interest in taking any gold away --- the nations of   
   the world were being slightly jerky in not letting him.  I mean, the   
   point of a gold reserve is to have a gold reserve, and does it really   
   make much difference *where* it is as long as it's somewhere?  Might   
   as well get somebody some nookie.   
      
           Also, I find that I'm less averse to Diabolik having sex than   
   I am most MST3K characters.  There are people I definitely don't want   
   to deploy any organs whatsoever, and there are those I think could   
   usefully have them.
