@April I've always assumed you're male. If I'm right, I'm not surprised you're not pregnant. If you're female, well I've thought the wrong thing of you all this time.

Not sure it's as worthy of an announcement as you've made, but, I'm also not pregnant :)

I thought so too.
Thus, Lord Byron mentions in the poem Don Juan that King Xerxes promised a reward for "something new in the science of pleasure". But it's more about perversions.

And who promised a million for the birth of a child by a man? Charlie Chaplin, I think.

Gentlemen, we have just missed an opportunity to get a millionaire into our ranks :)

Thank you kind Sirs ,
I have Japanese heritage and my name is unfortunately common.
I have a ketch on the reef here and that would interrupt my lifestyle.

After all An Announcement was called for and an announcement has been made.

Lord Byron also said in the British House of Parliament I think ,that" It is right and proper for a man to arrange his affairs to attract the least amount of taxation. We all do it and we all do good"
I think I'l stick with that quote thanks. its a basic tenet of Australian and British Law.
You should remind your tax Accountants of this as they seem to have forgotten.

It's all a state of mind.

Female Guppies and Mollies have been recorded as giving birth through three generations even in the absence male guppies. My own experience keeping them is consistent with that.

I thought they did a sex change to a male if no others are available . This is common with reef fish.

Edit: April, that phenomena has also been observed in some freshwater fish. But it's not the one taking place among guppies. I'm emailing you a reply rather than extend this fun but not particularly-relevant-to-Puppy Linux discussion.

Edit: I forgot to mention. I'm not pregnant either.

It is right and proper for a man to arrange his affairs to attract the least amount of taxation.

I tend to arrange my affairs, without being too hair-shirted about it, to minimise the likelihood of legitimate disputes with the taxation authority. YMMV.
