You Look Like a Baby, Git In Muh Belly!!!

The newest item to go on sale on eBay? Babies.

Eachnet, China's eBay had babies for sale on it for several hours recently. With the limit of one child per household (I'd vote this one in effect, or just some form of breeding license) babies are a commodity in China.

So, how much does a baby cost you ask? Bidding starts at $3,450 for boys, and $1,603 for girls. Yeah, we menfolk are much more expensive than women. It's culturally influenced, but on what basis?

There are several possibilities, driving the factor of a higher cost for males:

• Stronger upper bodies
• That whole "carrying on the name" BS
• Testicles (it's a blessing to have some)
• We don't scream as much when we are children
• Don't have to worry about us coming home pregnant
• Ummm... did I mention Testicles?

Yeah, that would drive the price up a bit.

If I ever get someone pregnant, I hope its a boy, so I can make more scratch when I sell him off on Chinese eBay.

Wouldn't that be great?
