Triple delight for tsunami father
A man who lost his three daughters in the Indian Ocean tsunami has become a father again - to female triplets.
Darmi Ali, who had remarried after also losing his wife when the huge waves hit the Indonesian province of Aceh in 2004, said he was "overjoyed".
"I lost my three daughters, and now they have been replaced by three other girls," he said.
Aceh was nearest to the earthquake's epicentre and lost 130,000 people, with half a million people made homeless.
Mr Ali, a 43-year-old police officer from Banda Aceh, described trying to save one of his daughters when the tsunami hit.
"I gripped onto one of my daughters but the tsunami took her away. I was also knocked over," he was quoted by the Associated Press as saying.
"I tried to grab her, but I was not successful."
The three babies were to remain in hospital until they gain weight.
"They can be taken home when they weigh 2kg (4.4lb) because with that weight they can adapt to the outside environment," midwife Asma Sulaiman said.
She said the triplets' 29-year-old mother, Maryati, was also doing well.
"After my female triplets were born, all the worries have gone and turned to happiness," Mr Ali said. _________________ Why was there BACON IN THE SOAP?! |

For some reason this part gets me:

So, kids, the moral of the story is: everyone's expendable. You'll never learn a more important lesson in your lives. _________________ Why was there BACON IN THE SOAP?! |

Yeah, seriously.
It'd be like someone saying:
"Yeah my boyfriend died like 2 yrs ago, but its okay! I got another one now!" _________________ What ever happened to that girl BA?

My guess is, the man doesn't speak much English and it was translated weird, both "and I was knocked over also," and the "now I have three other children!" thing. I don't think you can assume he wasn't devastated about losing his entire family to the tsunami, and isn't still-- just thrilled that after he lost three children, he got three more all at once, which is pretty crazy. Especially if he's Hindu/believes in reincarnation.
Don't get lost in translation. _________________ Hey! That was my lucky assassin hat! |

yeah, I was thinking he said that weirdly too. But Pinko's probably right. Something probably just got messed up in the translation (I hope) _________________ Book 7: HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS!!!!!!!
