my friend just had a 10lb 7oz baby. that's big, right? -- nm - Max Aug 26, 18:01 11
- Is she Guatemalan? -- nm - Reagen Aug 26, 18:21 2
  - close to six feet and probably 200 lbs last week. -- nm - Max Aug 26, 18:26 1
    - ah, in that case, 10 pounds isn't as weird. -- nm - loosilu Aug 26, 18:30

Beaker, The Master is to Dr. Who like like Professor Moriarty is to Sherlock Holmes. He's a good match because he is also from the Timelord race/world -- nm - zork Aug 26, 17:54 15

        how very ... cliche. ;P -- nm - loosilu Aug 26, 18:12 6
        
        heh, but better than names that the US division uses (Scooby, Kodos, Yogi, etc.) -- nm - zork Aug 26, 18:14 5
        
        my favorite naming scheme was from the COrnell Vet school ... everything was an animal. Bear, Dog, Cow, Giraffe, Platypus, Tiger, etc. -- nm - loosilu Aug 26, 18:15 4
        
        ~zoodles are animal noodles~ -- nm - Reagen Aug 26, 19:05
        
        I constantly have to come up with schemes for prospects. animals, mountains, rivers, the first fleet, - mafic Aug 26, 19:01 2
        
        both of those are awesome. I'd have plenty of nicknames myself. -- nm - loosilu Aug 26, 19:09
