I'm Happy with One, Thank You
Pat gets a very fertile no-prize for bringing us news of an alternate definition of "fecundity":
Michelle Duggar just delivered her 16th child, and she's already thinking about doing it again.Johannah Faith Duggar was born at 6:30 a.m. Tuesday and weighed 7 pounds, 6.5 ounces.
The baby's father, Jim Bob Duggar, a former state representative, said Wednesday that mother and child were doing well.
And yes, Virginia, they're from Arkansas.
While nearly everyone is treating this as "weird" and "scary" and other less complimentary things, I file it under interesting. They're a married couple, paying their taxes, the kids all seem to be staying out of trouble, the mother's health seems not to be an issue, and they've apparently built an enormous house in which to live. When a family meets these requirements, to me it officially becomes none of our damned business what they want to do with themselves.
You forgot to mention she is 39 years old and he is 40. There were two sets of twins in the bunch. I just hate all the publicity.
