RE: Hamsters have Reached the Nebula
This was very interesting. Particularly as the writer (Leah Cypess) is female. I wonder if it's just a freakishly original idea, or some kind of social commentary.

It exploits a common fear among career/working women, that they actually can't do it all, and that someone else is raising her children.

Well, that would seem to explain just about everything.
