The Hand of Fate

Well, while at the store a while back, I came across a magic 8-ball.

I decided to see if it had any insight into the sex of the baby.

"Is it a girl?", I asked.

MOST DECIDEDLY SO -- it read.

"Is it a boy?", I asked mainly to confirm my earlier findings (I am a social scientist after all.).

THE ANSWER IS NO -- it read.

So, the Magic 8-ball has weighed in on the intrigue that will come to fruition in just over a month.
