- nakedrobot2 13y agoThis phrase is so overused, it has become an excuse to be lazy in many cases. Look how Cory Doctorow works: " The “write it now and fix it later” approach sounds perfectly reasonable to me, but then Doctorow pushes it to an extreme. “For instance, I wrote Homeland [2013] while I was touring Germany to publicise Little Brother [2008]. I had a translator, we’d visit lots of schools, and so I’d be speaking English half the time and he’d be speaking German half the time, and I’d write the book while he was speaking German.” " http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/9a344ea2-e8af-11e2-aead-00144feabdc0.html#axzz2eUDlhKGn http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/9a344ea2-e8af-11e2-aead-00144feabd... He is 27 women making 4 babies a week. And he manages to make breakfast for them all every morning too ;-)
- keerthiko 13y agoWell, nine women can make nine babies in nine months, so effectively they are working at a capacity of one baby per month. If you want to twist physicality for your standpoint, I can twist sampling range for the opposing standpoint. This is not saying I fully agree with EM's case in point here, as much a fanboy of his as I am.
