I shoulda' known xkcd would already have covered that.
That cartoon is like if Cicero and Mark Twain had a baby, and time-traveled it into the future to make witty observations for us. (Yeah, they're both dudes, I know; it's a metaphor*, work with me here!)
*(Yeah, it's really a simile, not a metaphor,I know; work with me here!)

So you mention the problem of a man having a baby but the whole time travelling thing is taken as a given?

It just reminds me of people who would debate about whether, in D&D, it made sense that skeletons only took half damage from sharp weapons!
Anyway assuming we had a time machine how would a man have a baby ... doesn't seem that unreasonable to me.

xkcd is awesome. It and Penny Arcade are where I go when I want some weekly LOLs.

(For the record, it doesn't.) ;0)

Oh, look, now you've gone and woken up the nerds!
Shame, jabster. We'll be talking Minotaurs vs. Centaurs for days now, and this rather poorly spelled topic will stay at the top of the list.

El, you should NEVER have sent me to TVTropes.org . That was very mean of you to expose me to that kind of addictive awesomeness. Next thing you know, I'm going to start thinking I should start writing a novel again.
Shame on you.
This site is like a big tub of cookie dough. I know I shouldn't, but I'm gonna eat the whole damn thing, and then hate myself.
Does anyone know why I've been absent from UF for almost a month? Can anyone guess? ::sniff:: Did anyone even care? I was sucked in like Carol Anne and even Tangina couldn't save me.
