Ok, so it didn’t begin there...if you want to argue biologically…actually it started a few weeks before picture was taken. Yup, our little specimen (tag name: kow-kia) started the formation of life after we were done with our graduate studies. As scientific as we are, we wanted to predict and control the outcome with the current available tools and methodology, taking into account various factors that will potentially affecting the results.
First, the gender. Should our first specimen be a male or female? Frankly, to us it didn’t really matter because all creations are gifts from God anyway, and as long as the specimen is healthily formed we will be more than happy. One thing both of us wanted, or rather, hoped, was to have specimens of both genders, so that we shall enjoy the experience of raising specimens of both genders.
Then we started analyzing the pros and cons of having an elder male or female alpha to take care of the younger female or male beta. Then, after much research and intellectual argument, we unanimously passed the resolution that the benefits of having an elder alpha male outweigh that of an elder alpha female. So with the agreed goal in mind, we proceeded with our mission.
Next, we looked at the available tools to facilitate the gender selection process. After much research and discussions, we eliminated the more impossible methodologies such as genetic manipulation (due to budget constraint) and dubious hearsays such as the type of food and the position of the plan execution process. That left us with only one tool that could potentially produce a result with accuracy close to 85% (according to the consensus we gathered) – The Ancient Chinese Imperial Calendar of Baby Gender Selection. What a mouthful.
Anyway, fast forward to 38 weeks later, here we are, eagerly awaiting the little specimen with tag name kow-kia to emerge from the incubation device called Occupied Vehicle Awaiting Ripened Y-chromosome. The countdown clock, courtesy of NASA, was showing 11 days till product launch date. Meanwhile, many unsolved questions the creators’ minds, e.g. who will the specimen resemble? Will the specimen be healthy? Will the specimen be covered with abundant hair due to the maternal gene?
We, the scientifically inpired biological creators of little kow-kia, will diligently record on this scientific journal as a mean to share our discovery and experience of receiving and raising kow-kia with other enthusiasts.
