 RM>> Six live pups and a stillbirth?  I do not see how one can get a
 RM>> "half" pup.
 WE> Simplistic answer tho similar to mine.  The dead pup wouldn't
 WE> count anyway, now would it?
 RM> A dead pup is no longer a pup?  Then what else is it?  
Only after rotting.  Dead pups however don't count.
You have seven kids and you give each a pup.
Now ask the kid who gets the dead pup, if that counts.
 WE> My answer is six pups and a non-surviving pup, perhaps premature.
 RM> Premature could still live for a time, so the premature pup can be
 RM> considered a half pup.
Ok, I'll accept my answer as correct. -)
 
 RM> But, the half sticking out is still attached to the other half, so it
 RM> is still a whole pup.  I would not go as far as to say that even half
 RM> of the pup is officially "born", I would say that a pup is not born
 RM> until the whole pup is out.  CH's half pup is therefore invalid as a
 RM> half pup. It was a noble effort though. ;)
ROFL!  This is just the exactly the sort of stuff anti-abortionist thrive on. 
 Now there it a Jewish resolution of this paradox.  A cow has cloven hind 
feet and uncloven forefeet.  It is therefore half kosher, the lower half only 
religiously acceptable as food.
