Some say he was conceived on the night of All Hallow's Eve and that the last three generations of his family are all wolves who've learnt to use silverware;
But all we know is that he's an 8 lb 12 oz baby boy born at 07:05 EST on Thursday morning and he's called The Stig!
No, seriously, his name is Stig. It's Swedish for 'wanderer'.-- Alterother, Aug 04 2013 [+] dude, 'grats.-- FlyingToaster, Aug 04 2013 Damn, the crash helmet must have brought tears to the eyes...-- Ling, Aug 04 2013 A toast!May his wanders be peaceful and his wonders be many.-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Aug 04 2013 Hey, hey, hey! Congratulations to you both on your new BUNdle of joy. Best wishes from Downunder to Upover. You will now begin to wonder what on earth you used to spend all your free time doing.-- AusCan531, Aug 04 2013 [+]-- pertinax, Aug 04 2013 Congratulations!-- MaxwellBuchanan, Aug 04 2013 Happy diaper changes to you, and many, many other joys of parenthood.-- blissmiss, Aug 04 2013 It's excellent news, but how do you know his name already?-- MaxwellBuchanan, Aug 04 2013 Lovely news!-- xandram, Aug 04 2013 Good work all round!-- calum, Aug 04 2013 // but how do you know his name already? //
It was foretold in a Skaldic saga carved upon a narwhal tusk over nine hundred years ago and recently uncovered in a dusty museum vault in Reykjavík.-- Alterother, Aug 04 2013 <peers suspiciously at Mayan Sun-stone calendar>

Damn, it's stopped. Oh boy, is your planet in trouble now. We warned you and warned you: "Don't let them breed", we said, "Don't get them wet, or feed them after midnight" we said. But would you listen ? Noooooo … and now look what's happened.
Best thing you can do is liquidate your holdings and put your money into canned food and shotguns.
P.S. what [21Q] said.-- 8th of 7, Aug 04 2013 //It was foretold in a Skaldic saga carved upon a narwhal tusk over nine hundred years ago.//
Det verkar osannolikt. 900 år sedan, "Stig" användes endast som ett smeknamn. Det skulle vara lite som Nostradamus förutsäga födelse Khloe Kardashian.-- MaxwellBuchanan, Aug 04 2013 It is good that you have expelled another person from your uterus (or your mate's uterus as the case may be).-- tatterdemalion, Aug 04 2013 That would be my mate's. My own uterus remains yet untested.
// Det verkar osannolikt. 900 år sedan // etc.
That's easy for you to say, m'lud, but the tusk doesn't lie. If you don't believe me go to Iceland and read the damn thing yourself.-- Alterother, Aug 04 2013 Congrats!-- MechE, Aug 05 2013 Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Alterother [+]-- zen_tom, Aug 05 2013 You only get the extra bun if the middle name is "halfbakery", and I'll want to see the documents mind you...-- not_morrison_rm, Aug 05 2013 That's not his middle name. Will forged documents suffice?
Thank you all for your congratulations. This is the only online community that means anything to me, so it's nice to have the heartfelt sentiments of people whom I respect andor love (you know who you are) even though I've never met any of you in person.-- Alterother, Aug 05 2013 Forged documents are always acceptable.-- pocmloc, Aug 05 2013 Congratulations! A blacksmith's forgeries are a lot more iron-clad than the state's rubber-stamped tissue. All the best to TGFJ; now take the kid and go out hunting for a while so she can sleep. :)-- lurch, Aug 05 2013 Is his left nipple shaped like the Nürburgring?-- RayfordSteele, Aug 05 2013 Oh man… Now you can look forward to the day when you realize that fatherhood has changed you in all the ways you swore it never would, and a few that you had no idea about.
Congrats, and have fun!-- ytk, Aug 06 2013 Quick, jump through the portal before it closes!
When you happen to return, for surely the babies there will present little resistance, please share with me your knowledge of where babies come from.-- rcarty, Aug 06 2013 random, halfbakery
