Game over

Our first poll is closed. You, the readers, have collectively predicted... CENTAUR! Wait, what? Really? There are six (six!) people who voted centaur. Six of you had the chance to click either boy or girl - a guessing game people have been playing for time immemorial - and instead voted that my baby is going to be some kind of fictional throw away joke. [Keith Olbermann voice:] How dare you, sir!

The following image is an artit's rendition of what my child will look like, factoring in ultrasound pictures and reader predictions.


Yeah! Yeah! Kill that dirty, Artemis worshipping Ephesian!* No centaur (or centauride, if it's a girl, not eliminating that possibility) of mine is going to worship any moon goddess! Oh no, not while Hephaestus is still the god of technology. I'm so proud. He really has his father's beard and bloodlust, doesn't he? I see so much similarity, maybe I'll just name him Λυκασ.

The other votes were four for boy, and zero for girl. Zero?!?? Facepalm.


Is the thought of a cute little baby girl that offensive to you? Well then my apologies to my brother and his wife for the recent birth of their offensive little baby girl. You should be ashamed of yourselves, six anonymous people. Ashamed, I say! This is what you have voted against:


Doesn't that just make you go DDAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ariane is also now convinced it's a boy (for some reason only known to her). I think we can all agree that it is clearly now going to actually be a girl. We'll find out next Wednesday, and I'll post it ASAP, complete with the Drudge Siren, assuming I am smart enough to figure out how to upload an animated gif (unlikely).

*I have no idea if that is supposed to be an Ephesian. I just think "Ephesus" is one of the funnier names from classical Greek civilization.
