| Oh, it wouldn't be so weird if there are lots and lots of children.  Benjamin
| Franklin was, for example, the youngest of 17 children, which was only
| slightly unusual for colonial America, where the fertility rate was more like
| only 8-10 children per woman.  (Not that that carries over to David's
situation.)

Or look at J.S. Bach.  He had 22 children, at least four became composers, but
none of them as great as their father.

And I thought seven was a lot.
