I do not know what you mean by new spawn.

I know I was the result of some spawning, but that happened quite some time ago, nine months before I came on the scene, if I remember correctly.


Actually to 'spawn' is to be born...usually applied to insects and other lower life forms...the word you're looking for is 'conception', possibly.
I'm not dead; I'm dormant.

Spawn does not mean to be born. It means to create, in a way.

Hmm... maybe I'm not quite an insomniac, but I AM up throughout the night and early morning hours. But hey - I'm getting paid for it. :D

At least tonight I get to go home before the evil orb of death rises over the mountains.

I'm not sure which came first, but I suspect spawn originally refered to the biological process of creation (ie. birth). At any rate, the term creation and birth are very closely connected and often used interchangeably, either in a metaphorical or literal sense. That is, it is perfectly acceptable to say that you create a child as to say you give birth to a child. People often refer to things that aren't biological offspring as births, too. Someone may say that a book they wrote is one's child, or we might say that Freud was the father of psycho-analysis.
In many of humanity's oldest myths, the act of the creation of the universe has often been described in terms of giving birth, or as the hatching of a cosmic egg.
I don't know if you could go as far as to say that birth and creation are synonymous, but they are so closely linked that I don't think it really matters whether you take "spawn" to mean birth or creation... the same idea comes across.

That's true. I can't wait to wake up my neighbours and their four undisciplined children.
