Let's hear it for propagation of the species!

Two of my favourite people are expecting a baby!

I'm very happy for them, but I'm also happy for me. Mike didn't say as much in the email, but I have a feeling it's only a matter of time before their list of baby names has been whittled to one: Dave Bushnell French Green. It'd be like having your very own Dave Bushnell in the house! For the next eighteen years!

Maybe I should do that thing that DishNetwork did. DishNetwork said, "Hey, if your town changes its name to 'Dish', we'll give everyone in town free satellite tv [for ten years]." And a town in Texas accepted the offer. So hey, pregnant people: if you name your baby "Dave Bushnell", I'll give you free satellite tv [for ten years]. This offer not legally binding.

I know there are a lot of people in Kansas who don't know how this whole "baby" enterprise works, so I found the following link: German Baby Book. There's a jump between pages 9 and 16, but you're not missing much, Kansans; it's just the Holy Spirit coming down and deciding if it'll be a boy or a girl, and then Jesus pointing at the woman's womb and saying, "Booyah!" and then the woman has a baby in her. I think this fits your new definition of "science".
