I had the oddest dream last night. I had a baby and I was so happy. It wasn't a human baby though, I gave birth to a baby hedgehog. I kid you not. And it was the cutest little thing and I loved it and was so proud of it. It felt so real, and then I woke up.

Part of the trigger for this bizarre dream must have been what I was watching on TV before I went to bed. I was watching an episode of "The Young Ones" and there was this one vignette aboard one of those old British ships that was transporting convicts to Auslralia. One of the crew goes up to this dirty wench and the following exchange takes place:

"Aged, toothless and bent old crone,"
"Eh, you know me name?"
"We have designated you ship cook and concubine."
"What's a concubine?"
"A small, spiky mammal"
"No it ain't, that's a hedgehog"
"Than we designate you ship cook and hedgehog"

Wonder what tonight holds in store...
