šŸ˜ƒ Those of you who remember [Technosphere](http://www.technosphere.org.uk/index.htm) understand how such a thing is possible. And hereā€™s the (not yet) bouncing baby abby\_sdmb and her proud parents: [http://www.technosphere.org.uk/cgi-bin/tree.exe?id=2586400](http://www.technosphere.org.uk/cgi-bin/tree.exe?id=2586400) Aww, look! Sheā€™s got my nose! And her motherā€™s eyeā€¦ \<[sub][sup]_[/sup][/sub]sniff[sub][sup]_[/sup][/sub]\> Iā€™d suggest a baby shower, but heck if I know what one should buy for a newborn TechnoSphere carnivore. (Then again, heck if I know what one should buy a newborn _anything_.) Isnā€™t this the point where everybody buys the new dad a beer or twelve? ---

Carnivore? Donā€™t rush out just yetā€¦ sometimes these carnivores take their time having kids. [Irk\_SDMB](http://www.technosphere.org.uk/cgi-bin/info.exe?id=2380152) has been pregnant since long before the boards went down. But itā€™s probably related to body type, because other carnivores have given birth in less time. Anyway, congratulations on yourā€¦ daughter? granddaughter? errā€¦ Congratulations to you!! šŸ™‚ And of course to the proud parents, may their lives be long and not end brutally. ---

**cazzle** , wow, Irk\_SDMB has been pregnant for quite a long time. According to the FAQ (which I just checked,) creatures who go from ā€œadultā€ to ā€œancientā€ while pregnant will abort. (There are no senile new parents in the TechnoSphere, I guess.) Hereā€™s hoping baby Irk beats the time limit. The FAQ also says that the creature who initiated theā€¦ umā€¦ ā€œencounterā€ (knew I should have started this thread in the Pit) is the one who gets pregnant. (What a wonderful world that is!) So it looks like everybody is lusting after me, or at least my creature. Iā€™m just going to sit back and enjoy this for a whileā€¦ remember everybody, flowers and chocolate are always appreciatedā€¦ šŸ†’ ---

I just got [mine](http://www.technosphere.org.uk/cgi-bin/info.exe?id=2587691) yesterday and itā€™s already pregnant. I knew I shouldā€™ve had that talk with it. But now itā€™s too late and it looks like Iā€™m gonna have an unwed parent on my hands. ---

Speaking of grandchildren, abbyā€¦ I blame you and your weak genetics in helping create lilā€™ [DingoI](http://194.80.29.14/cgi-bin/info.exe?id=2570940) , who was immediately killed by a weak Herbie. He wasnā€™t even .0088 years old yet, killed when life was a vast canvas before him, waiting to be painted with the brush of his dreams. Dopers, could Abby and I have a moment of silence please? ---

I figured weā€™d be one big happy carnivore family, having lovely family meals of herbivore (or mulched herbivore, for the baby,) before we all sat down together before the TechnoFireplace to read some TechnoStories to each other. But no! Now TechnoAttorneys (the next level beyond carnivores, I assume) have gotten involved. Fine, I want 50% custody.
