Not to blaspheme wildly or anything, but what if Mary had said no to that angel who wanted to get all "we know eachother" with her?
Well, we don't know for sure that Mary was the first one asked.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Now I'm imagining a rebellious late teenage girl shaking her fist and saying "If you knock me up, I'm naming the kid Beast and getting three sixes tatooed on him for his first birthday!"

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I'm thinking it's really irritating to be subjected to "And then Wayne Brady said!" sort of conversations in the vicinity.
Not half as annoying as all the "I'm Rick James, Bitch!"s that I heard out of really loud junior high/high school kids on public transportation back when that first hit the zeitgeist.

Hm. Not to blaspheme wildly or anything, but what if Mary had said no to that angel who wanted to get all "we know eachother" with her?
It's a good question. What if her HMO had a good Psychiatric plan.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, naturally. "Does Wayne Brady have to choke a bitch??!?" is so much funnier.
My manager just almost fell over.

Also, if it's not said quietly it completely misses the point of the joke, so inherently it's less acoustically annoying.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Man. I'm having a very good day.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The same is true with children who were conceived because someone lied about contraception, or suffered contraceptive failure, or who opted for a sterility procedure which did not work.
But all of those involve the two people in question actually having sex. Every contraceptive has a failure rate, and everyone engaging in sex with a contraceptive is knowingly taking the risk that it could result in a pregnancy. He wasn't taking that risk at all -- his activities were such that, no matter what sort of contraceptive was used or not used, there should have been a 0% risk of pregnancy. Not a tiny risk, but no risk at all, whatsoever, in any way.
