So, where do human babies fit in?The average human baby is a 9.17 - a tie with puppies - although of Ichi, Ni, and San, two graded out at a perfect 10.0 and one a 9.86 on the Ferwilliger Cuteness Scale. Again, not my opinion. Science.

When Ni was born, there was a baby in the hospital nursery who was a 2.06. A lot of nurses used personal leave.

Hmmm. Not to be unduly critical, but, as the father of ten, six living, you can probably guess that, while I understand the humor angle, that comment falls rather flat in my presence.

As background I should mention that my harrowing adventures have included a considerable amount of time in the Intensive Care Nursery at our local hospital where I have seen some of the most precious treasures on Earth drift beyond all mankind's ability to preserve their frail lives. The ICN nursing staff have constitutions of iron; were I forced to work in that environment; subject repeatedly to the stark reality that the fullness of human effort stands so often naked and helpless to save "the least of these," I would have been consigned to an asylum as a blithering madman many long years ago. As it is, I am forever scarred by my own brief excursions beyond all hope.

The Day of Justice will be a fine day, indeed.
