sad..........

For **** sake.

They should just accept that their kid is dead and move the **** on. If they start ****, the police should just shoot them as mental patients.

[Rictor]

Or just do as Solomon did. Its the oldest trick in the book.

[Ford Prefect]

Solomon's trick was stupid. Just because a woman doesn't want a baby to be cut in half doesn't prove she's the mother; it just proves she doesn't want someone to cut a baby in half.

[Goober5000]

Solomon's trick was successful because the true mother would rather have given the baby up than see it killed.  It would have worked even if the false mother had also cried out, because the false mother wouldn't have offered to give the baby up.

To put it another way, a person falsely claiming to be the baby's mother, faced with that sort of situation, could only do one of three things: 1) agree to have the baby divided, 2) say that it shouldn't be killed (and say nothing else), or 3) admit that she was lying.  Only the true mother would offer to give the baby up.

[Roanoke]

One man standing outside the nursery at Kalmunai Base Hospital threatened to kill himself and his wife if they are not given the baby. A woman at the hospital said she would kill the doctors if he is not returned to her.

Yeah, that'll work.

[karajorma]

Irony is that the baby's real parents probably died and he belongs to none of them.

[Bobboau]

well soloman's trick won't work here, becase they all realy think they are the real mother and they will act acrodingly.

[Ford Prefect]

My point is that only a sick bastard would want to see a baby cut in half. The only thing that Solomon succeeded in proving was that neither woman was a sick bastard.

[Goober5000]

Actually, if you reread the story, one of them was.
