LOL! No but anyone who wants large family is  .

Not that it is all that an effective way to grow a movement. The enemy can move in and turn your offspring away from your movement faster than you can birth them and train them. |
My memory is short... but now that you mention it - YES.

Not forever. Once you cross an unspecified quantity threshold, folks stop laughing and start just staring in speechless, dumbfounded awe. We like to tell ourselves that they are in awe of our wholesome looking and well-behaved children, but in reality they are probably in awe of our (perceived) stupidity.

With six or eight you could put them in fuzzy winter coats and string them together like a bore brush and clean chimneys in 1/4 the time!
