The article says that polygamous cultures have longer *average* male lifespans. That includes all men, not just the ones with lots of wives. Since in a polygamous culture there is a great excess of men, that means most of the men are NOT married. I think we may have found the cause of the increased longevity.:)
World of Warcraft has a remarkably rich universe and there's a lot of room for good storytelling. While there are several webcomics based on WoW already (LFG is a relatively professional example), there's something to be said for honest to goodness paper media. It's good to see that even an inherently tech subject matter can still make its way into physical print, and it's even better to see it done by an experienced writer like Walter Simonson.
