Amilia Sonja Taylor, a baby conceived through in vitro fertilization, was born prematurely at 21 weeks and six days October 24 at the Baptist Children’s Hospital in Miami.

Based on the University of Iowa’s registry of the tiniest babies, she may be the most premature baby ever to survive.

At birth she weighed about 10 ounces and measured 9.5 inches in length!

Attempts were made to delay a premature delivery, but when those failed, the baby was delivered by Caesarean section. According to the hospital, she was able to breathe without help upon birth and even tried to cry.

“She’s truly a miracle baby,” said Dr. William Smalling, a neonatologist at Baptist Children’s Hospital.

“We didn’t even know what a normal blood pressure is for a baby this small,” Smalling said in a statement issued by the hospital.

I’m a bit freaked out by this… My foot is longer than this baby!

Surgeons at Xiangya Second Hospital, Changsha City, China, have apologized after lengthening the wrong leg of a five-year-old boy in an attempt to correct his limp.

“The doctor suggested surgery to extend the withered tendon, and we agreed. But when Mingming came out of the operating room, I found his left leg was in the cast,” Miao Mingming’s father said.

The surgeons said the mistake occurred because the boy had been given anaesthesia while laying on his back, but was operated on while laying on his stomach.

Miao Mingming’s right leg was shorter than his left prior to the operation. Now the surgeons have to shorten his left leg (back to normal) and then lengthen his right (like they were supposed to in the first place).

They better get it right next time. The father should sue.

Physicians and scientists at RYT Hospital have used in vitro fertilization techniques to induce an ectopic pregnancy for Mr. Lee Mingwei, an artist who lives in Manhattan.

The physicians had to give him orals doses of female hormones to increase his chances of becoming pregnant. They then implanted an embryo and placenta into the abdominal cavity, under the surrounding lining.

The duration of the pregnancy has so far been normal. Mr. Lee has the belly of a pregnant woman and looks to be ready to ‘give birth’ in four months or so.

As expected, the baby will be born by Caesarian section. It sure can’t come out through his pee hole or poop shoot.

In an interview, Mr. Lee said: “A lot of people have cast this endeavor as something terribly monstrous – a startling example of how science and medicine have simply gone too far. From my perspective, however, I am simply bringing a child into this world. There is nothing more natural and beautiful on this earth than that. This is something that I’ve always wanted to do.”

Is this a case of a woman stuck in a man’s body gone too far?

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Feb. 8 (UPI) — A city-run bus company is showing dirty movies on monitors at bus stops to help commuters in the Bulgarian capital while away the wait after midnight.

This is a bad idea for so many reasons!

An official at the transportation company in Sofia said the company wanted to entertain passengers as they wait for buses.

There’s nothing entertaining about catching the guy next to you touching himself.

Erotic movies are being shown only late at night when there is little chance children are on the streets, he said.

Some Sofia residents praised the new service while others said it brings shame on the city.

Some Bulgarians complained security in Sofia has been reduced as police officers prefer to watch pornographic films instead of chasing criminals, the report said.

I don’t think it’s a good idea to turn on the perverts that ride the bus at night. Criminals could start hanging around bus stops just to catch free porn. Sex crimes will probably increase! What were they thinking?

Comedy>Porn.

LONDON (UPI) — A poll of British men has found 30 percent would give up sex for life for about $2 million, and 1 percent would give it up for a lifetime supply of alcohol.

The survey was conducted by condom-maker Durex and the women’s magazine, Company, the Mirror reported.

Of the undisclosed number of men polled, 9 percent they would be willing to give up sex if they never had to work again, and 3 percent they had faked enjoyment during sex, the report said.

Ok. Either these men don’t know how to have great sex OR 3 in 10 British women don’t know how to give great sex OR these men are virgins who can’t get any no matter how much they try OR 3 in 10 British men are really old and have lost all interest in sex OR these men are out of their minds.

What do you think?

39-year old Liu Ye from Zhuhai city recently married himself.

“There are many reasons for marrying myself, but mainly to express my dissatisfaction with reality,” he said.

I don’t think that’s a good enough reason.

“This marriage makes me whole again. My definition of marriage is different from others.”

A false marriage can make a person whole?

There was an actual ceremony with more than 100 guests who watched as Ye married a life-sized foam cut-out of himself wearing a woman’s bridal gown.

I wonder what the sex is like…

Cancun residents can’t get enough of Antonio Vasconcelos, AKA “Super Tonio”, a 14.5 lb baby measuring 22 inches in length born early Monday at Jesus Kumate Rodriguez Hospital.

It’s a good thing he was born by Caesarean section. Yikes!

Super Tonio is given 5 ounces of milk every three hours. (The average baby weighs about 7 lbs and only needs 14 - 21 ounces of milk a day).

Wednesday, Narcisco Perez Bravo, the hospital’s director said, “We haven’t found any abnormality in the child, there are some signs of high blood sugar, and a slight blood infection, but that is being controlled so that the child can get on with his normal life in a few more days.”

Normal??

According to the Guinness World Record, the world’s biggest baby was born to a healthy mother in Italy in 1955 weighing in at a hefty 22 pounds, 8 ounces.
