Somudro links to two extremely well written articles about the lost culture of pidgets, “A Review of Pidget Sexual Culture” and “Pidgets: A Historical Overview” (both PDFs). Well worth the read.

From somudro.info:

Anthropologists believe that in ancient Africa the most common form of currency was the “pidget.” Pidgets were in fact an enslaved race of short and stout people, resembling a cross between pygmies and malformed midgets… But how did such a cruel societal modus operandi arise? Was it effective as an economic system? And what was life like for a member of this noble yet ill-fated race? These questions will be examined in the series of articles that follow.
