I keep thinking it would be kinda fun to know all this stuff beforehand and get to be all cryptic like Ookla.

i think that would be fun too but there are some downsides. You can't just get on the forums and yell VIN DIES! The temptation for spoilers must be great indeed. Also you read the book from the early stages, with all its inconsistencies, typos, and flaws.

I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Back on topic, has anyone looked closely at the Hero of Ages cover and seen a baby bump?

Hmm, just looked - nope, no baby bump that I could discern.  Maybe she already had the kid and lost her baby weight.  Or maybe the cover shows Elend cross-dressing.

Somehow the thought of Elend Cross-dressing is disturbing to me.

Is Ookla saying there should be a bump but there isn't, or is he trying to show us what idiots we are being?

I'd guess the latter.

Me as well, but it's always fun to play the devil's advocate.

Oh I assure you, that my 'crap,' as you so put it, does NOT come out of nowhere. ;)

I was referring to the crap I come up with.  My theories are like. . . no one ever likes them, they all just say, 'No, I disagree,' and move on. ha ha.

Actually, I suspect there is some type of reasonably effective birth control. After all, Kelsier and Mare were able to *choose* not to have children for...what, 12 or 13 years?

There are ways besides birth control to prevent having children. Perhaps Mare couldn't, or some other condition we don't know about. (Maybe Kelsier didn't want to raise a chlid until he was done robbing everyone blind, and they just weren't sexually active.)

And Miyabi and Comatose, I think that without all of those ideas you two think up this board would be a lot less active. People may disagree with most of your theories, but we usually see parts of them we like, and add all of our theories together to come to a consensus. Then someone will question some aspect of it, and we'll keep thinking, which is the important part.
