Hmmmm.... sounds like a dare!

I can only assume it's a virgin birth.

That's what Dnmlthr was getting at.

However, not matter how disgusting the thought might be, this is not a case of parthenogenesis. Despite well over a decade in the lab and frequent contact with some very nasty chemicals indeed, my team of swimming geniuses appear to be fully functional. Hurrah! Go team!

I perceived Dnmlthr's opinion differently. In regard to what was being said by all the experienced dads here, he'd rather everyone reproduced by parthenogenesis instead of going through the stressful and painful process of regular childbirth.

I think that's the main reason why he apologized if he somehow came out as a jerk.

As far as I understand it parthenogenesis would still require a birth (painful or otherwise), it just wouldn't require a father.

Or did he mean that if parthenogenesis* occurred then we lads (not that there would be any lads at all) we could be in the pub whilst the women got on with all that tedious reproducing lark?

Either way the biology's a bit dodgy, and either way I certainly didn't think he was being a jerk of any sort.

The only good part is me + pub. What a good idea!

Louis

*ETA and I don't think he did. He said, and meant, division, v. different from parthenogenesis.

Ok, my bad, I did a bad mistake.

I wasn't thinking parthenogenesis, but division. Division is actualy the word he uses.

.

Quote

I'm always happy to hear of new developments in mammalian reproduction by means of division! The alternative is both too implausible and frightening to ponder.

If you look at his phrase as a general statement, and not something directed at you, and in light of the great birth-tales that preceded it, I think the meaning is quite different.

Anyway, I'm all for the pub too, and if I can divide while having a beer, I won't be one to complain about having a new drinking buddy...:)

Red wine? But of course!

I do like a good claret, Bordeaux for preference, Margaux if I can get it (good Margaux is a) hard to find here and b) hard to afford when you do find it in the UK) and I prefer not to binge on (or after it).

Unless of course we are going to consume what I refer to as the "New World Fighting Wines", many of which are very nice and very good for a serious session which leaves you with liver damage.

Are you referring to the big California cabs? Not a big fan of them because they are really bumping up the alcohol content to 14% and more. I much prefer Oregon Pinots and just about any red from Chile.

I like a mellow Merlot or a mid-young Cabernet Sauvignon. Bordeaux is quite nice as a general dinner wine, but most of all I'm in for Côtes du Rhône.

In 2005, I became co-godfather of a new type of Côtes du Rhones with my skydiving team. The wine is (was? I'm not sure it still exists) "Autrement: Ambiance Givrée". It is a wine that is targeting young adults for recreational purposes (I mean, not something you'd like on your table alongside a nice dinner. When we birthed and baptised it, it made quite a success. Not too sweet, but not too harsh either. And most weird, wether it was white, rosé or red, it was to be served at a temperature around 12°C.

The wine was made in St Cecile les Vignes.

Ahhh, memories...

EDIT: 12°, not 2

That is so very true. Chile wine is excellent.

Another of my favorites is any wine from the Friuli region (IT). I am lucky enough to go there twice a year, and whatever you have for dinner, these wines will fit like a glove. Very smooth, fruity (yet not too much), and 100% headache/bellyache proof.

I'm talking about wine for drunkenness as opposed to wine for proper enjoyment. So screw cap bottles of cab sauv on the red side and heavily oaked chardonnays on the white side. Usually found in supermarkets for ~£5 a bottle and eminently quaffable.

A bottle of port also works nicely.

If you want to go for New World wines that are GOOD, then we're talking about something else entirely! I'd agree that Chile has some spectacular stuff, but then I'd not write off the Californians either who have turned out some monster vintages in their time. But with France (and Italy...mmmm Barolo) so close, I have to declare my bias, I rarely buy New World unless I know it (and I'm far from expert) or unless it falls into the aforementioned "Fighting Wine" category. I don't think I've been privileged to have an Oregon pinot....hmmm WINE TOUR OF THE US!!!!

Pack the bags, there's alcoholism to be had!

Yup, it's a boy. Although he ain't born yet, so the word "baby" is unnecessarily "pro life" in my book. He's not a baby until he's out of the womb, and he's not a person until he's in my phone book! I'm harsh, I know.

Hey bud, I understand. The "baby", "fetus", "that thing inside" is what the parents want to call it.

What I can't understand is this wine thing. And this from a half-Italian.

Give me a a good stout or ale anytime over a wine. I guess it's the half-Irish in me coming out.

An Irish-Italian 7 course meal anyone?

A bottle of vino and a six pack of course.

As Louis already mentioned I'm German and sparc is, too.
So, if you want to give it a try, go ahead ;)

A nice place to practice German as a foreign language is LEO. It's a site with dictionaries for German - English, - French, - Italian, - Spanish, and - Chinese, and for each language there's also a forum where you can ask language related questions or just chat (e.g. the English - German forum).

Wow! You did well. Almost perfect (only almost because "chose" is female and should be preceded by "cette"). Congrats!

BUGGER! I was debating the sex of "chose" as well. I plumbed for male on a coin toss. C'est le* vie!
