In order to explain what has happened to myself, I have had to resort to fish metaphor. So be it - we have spawned.
Right now the little flipper is at 10 weeks. Ontogeny recapitulating phylogeny, it's basically a newt at this point. Yes, shutup. Salmon don't generally spawn newts, I grant you, but this is a singular case.
I'm actually kind of hoping it doesn't develop any further, so we can keep it in a goldfish bowl like our own sea-monkey.
UPDATE: For those who cannot tell the difference between me telling a tale and telling the truth, this is it. Really. The latter one.
Why wouldn't you keep it in a fishbowl even after it's born? Now that I think about it, a large enough fish bowl would be a GREAT place to keep a kid! (as long as it's not filled with water, anyway)
Oh, CONGRATULATIONS!
w00t!
Is paragraph 3 in the truth or tale category?
I thought I had it all figured out, but upon reflection, I'm not so sure.
Dude...YOU SCORED! 'Gratz!
Congratulations! At fist I thought the photo was of the inside of Rachelle's tummy. Be sure to keep us updated on all the new developments and first belly kicks.
Ontogeny does not recapitulate phylogeny. That myth was blown away decades ago. And Haeckel's drawings were fraudulent. And salmon only spawn after a Herculean and completely unreasonable effort, then turn red and die. Or they get eaten by bears on the way. And if you like fishbowls, move to a small town.
