Belonging in a plot that does not belong to begin with.

Weird. Can you describe the scene in more details?

Well, he's actually described as giving birth to Sin with a burst of flame from his forehead.

Sin herself recounts her birth and subsequent impregnation like so:

"All on a sudden miserable pain
Surprised thee, dim thine eyes and dizzy swum
In darkness, while thy head flames thick and fast
Threw forth, till on the left side opening wide,
Likest to thee in shape and countenance bright,
Then shining heavenly fair, a goddess armed,
Out of thy head I sprung. Amazement seized
All th' host of Heaven; back they recoiled afraid
At first, and called me Sin, and for a sign
Portentous held me; but, familiar grown,
I pleased, and with attractive graces won
The most averse—thee chiefly, who, full oft
Thyself in me thy perfect image viewing,
Becam'st enamoured; and such joy thou took'st
With me in secret that my womb conceived
A growing burden."

           -- From Paradise Lost (1674) Book II

So, yeah.  Sounds like it hurt....

Never thought of something like that happening

That's why you're not Milton...lol
Actually, Paradise Lost is quite an interesting read, if the "classical" dialect and religious themes don't bother you...Same with 'The Inferno' by Dante.  You'd be surprised with the sort of things Christian Authors used to write about back in the day.

Always wanted to read The Inferno
I'll do it later though

Right now I'm watching eggs get thrown into a microwave

Bought The Inferno a while ago. Need to get used to the writing style, but so far in (Canto 7? I think I'm reading that next) I'm enjoying it.

[Dominicy]

I read some of The Inferno some time ago.  People being dragged through their own feces or something.  Was a LONG time ago, maybe it made more sense at the time.

[Musha]

Heh. I actually own a copy of "The Inferno" which I started reading, but never got around to finishing it.  It's...an interesting take on Hell, to say the least.  Heads sewn on backwards, burining eternally in open coffins....great stuff.

Gotta love them ancient scare tactics!
