    We were evolved to love and serve each other.

    Grief is like child-hunger, it happens, but it shouldn't be for very long.

    I couldn't find an exact chart for some reason, but if we assume they're similar to turkeys, a dressed-out baby should weigh about 75% as much as a live one. Again, using turkeys for reference, you should usually figure on one pound per diner, so an average baby should be able to satisfy the child hunger of four to six people (assuming you have side dishes like potatoes, gravy, green bean casserole etc). I guess the real problem is the cooking time.

    Is that from the rare Led Zeppelin album where Ralph Wiggum had a writing credit?

    ♫ "There's a lady who's sure
    all that glitters is gold
    and she's buying a choo-choo.. to heaven.
    Daddy, I'm scared.
    Too scared to pee
    and I do believe I bent.. my wookie..."

    And back on topic

    I'm pretty sure they wrote an essay on it in the 1700's. Though that was just for poor babies, I'm sure rich ones would be a bit plumper.

    To those who care about punctuation, a sentence such as "Thank God its Friday" (without the apostrophe) rouses feelings not only of despair but of violence. The confusion of the possessive "its" (no apostrophe) with the contractive "it's" (with apostrophe) is an unequivocal signal of illiteracy and sets off a Pavlovian "kill" response in the average stickler.
