just wait until it's "totally legal" for corporations to "adopt" orphans

Adopt Orphans?

Your contract states that anything you create while employed at [COMPANY NAME] is the sole property of [COMPANY NAME], you're lucky you're allowed a generous 0.25% caretaker stipend for the child that's been a complete leech on resources for the last 9 months...
