Things That Bang

At what age should we stop people from having children? Its just yucky when men in their 60s beget babies. Yeah, their sperms still feel 'twenty something' that wriggle and party all the way to the' thirty something' ovum but what conception brings in its trails is a child who would have a grandpa as a father. It just ain’t fair to have a pop who would be poppin’ pills in a retirement home instead of driving the kid to the prom night that is if he ain’t dead by then.

Men like Larry King and Nick Nolte may be cool old dudes but one has trouble visualizing them as daddies changing stinking diapers.

Actor Nick Nolte has become father to a baby daughter at the age of 66. The screen star and his long-term partner Clytie Lane, 38, have yet to name their first child, according to his spokesman Paul Bloch.

Congratulations are in order but come on daddy darlin' is way too old to sit up at night with a colicky baby.
