Do we know what is meant by "By-blow"? "They were human" ("Dey vos hooman.") says General Zog. Argadi 00:47, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

A child conceived, as it were, on the wrong side of the sheets. -- that old bearded guy 03:33, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

I get it now, the "they were human" refers to the Heterodynes, not to some group or species that has mutated from human. (I have no idea where I get the idea that there might possibly be some group that changed from human in the Girl Genius universe.) Argadi 08:55, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

More in the sense of "only human"; i.e., they had "urges", and the possibility of a bastard child can't be ruled out. -Acacia 21:32, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

"Can't be ruled out"? I would say, "is eagerly anticipated." }:-) -- that old bearded guy 23:11, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

By the way, don't feel bad; I missed that meaning for quite a while until I brought it up on the Yahoo! list. But yeah, even if they were heroes (as Khrizhan focuses on), they may still have sewn wild oats, or so Zog believes/hopes. ⚙Zarchne 23:19, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
