Well, aren't we just Mr. "Old Man Sick of Everything" Turtle.  Beauty is
in the pelvis of the bearer.  There are things uglier than a newborn:
road kill, child molesters, the Republican National Convetion, the TMNT
fad, and Indian Snakes.  I've never seen a live birth, but I have seen
four or five on video, and I thought it was 'beautiful'.
