Babies are obnoxious (they scream when they want something and sometimes just because they feel like it), gross (you can get pissed on or dumped on if you aren't careful, and even when you are), demanding ("I want it NOW! WAAAAHHHH!"), they destroy things (books, magazines, telephones, computers, toilet paper . . .) and are expensive (child care + diapers + formula + clothes = $500/month). If they weren't so cute, who would want one? -- Spike {decvax,ucbvax,ihnp4}!sdcsvax!sdcc6!calmasd!stj
