Unlike the wizard sleeve that just recently pooped out her 19th, I have to say that this type of clown car activity gets a thumbs up from me.

10? At once? I don't even know how I'd handle TWO!

/or even one!

Um. Octuplets not decaplets.


Seven are still alive and look healthy

And why was the cake half vanilla? I understand the half blue / half pink..

Some of them might not like chocolate.

The candles on top proclaimed the birthday girls - Echerem, Ebuka, Gorom, Chidi, and Chima - and their brothers - Ikem and Jioke - to be 10 years old. Saturday, the seven surviving Chukwu octuplets, along with 6-year-old sister Favor...

Perfect!

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND....

They are all bloods but half the cake is Crips?

That's a cake turf war starting right there.

Winktologist: wizard sleeve

Thank you. I shall credit you with this term when I use it in the future.

1) Give up your hope for sanity
2) Give up your hope for sleep
3) Give up your hope for a clean house
4) Buy earplugs
5) Begin drinking heavily

(wizard sleeve! narf!)

If my wife has more than triplets, I'm moving out of the country. I just couldn't handle that many brats!

Not like she would have expected this many. At which increment she seems to have prudently chosen to stop and raise them as best she can. Good luck to her and the kids.

Seeing things like this makes my hoo ha pucker up in pure, unadulterated fear.

I came here expecting to read a story about Phillip Glass, and left disappointed.

disa.disa.disa.disa.disa.disa.disappoint.point.point.point.point.point.disappoi n ted.

I still remember the news of them being born like it was yesterday.

I feel old.

Short one 'Happy Birthday' in the headline. :)

I was going to post something snarky about none of them being named Oranjello or Urhines Kendall Icy Eight Special K, but then I realized they were probably Nigerian or something, so those names made sense.

Also, nice to see the mother, father and grandmother working as a team to keep this herd in line.

Most folks don't say Happy Birthday for a dead baby.

Actually, they had one more kid four years later. You know, just so that one can be the odd one out and battle with the army of clones for the rest of her life.

Oh, wait, I missed the part about the younger sister. Okay, forget the part about stopping at seven. Well, that isn't out of the pale like 19, anyway.

All the names sound like real non-English ones. Except "Favor". OTOH, those two syllables could mean "youngest daughter" or something in whateverese.

SonOfSpam Most folks don't say Happy Birthday for a dead baby.

Yeah, they usually say something about being stapled to the chicken..

Oh, I thought maybe Head-On was celebrating an anniversary.

Damn. She got more kids than Mrs. Wayans!

/definitely not obscure

GratuityIncluded: Short one 'Happy Birthday' in the headline. :)

Well, really, there's one too many, since the oldest of the octuplets was born 12 days before the other seven.

Traumatizing the poor thing even further.

Heh...I just started re-reading that, so I'm getting a kick out of your reply.

Were they given eight Pip Boys?

+8, submitter!

Prank Call of Cthulhu: "Your kids have funny names. Well, except for Favor. That's a good one."

Ok, that's the funniest thing I've seen on Fark in a long time. I actually heard her voice saying that when I read it. Bravo.

The father faced assault charges against the mother-in-law ten years ago. I wonder how they're getting along now.

I guess I'm the only one who read it as, "Houston Octopus celebrate 10th birthday" and then "Famous Octopus reach milestone"

I couldn't understand why there was a picture of children.

/too early

One of these days, I will save that .gif of the kid saying "that's racist". Then I will use that .gif in situations like this one.

Too little coffee, too much alcohol?

So, which god gave her the fertility drugs?

Great, now I want some farkin' cake.

Octopus?

She named her daughter "Gorom?" What the hell? That sounds like the end boss of a low level stage in a Nintendo game.

My first son was born just two days ago, so the sappy and hero tags are fighting over who wins, and I'm just smiling like a goof.

Overwhelmed by one.. can't imagine 8, but people will always surprise you by what sort of stuff they're made of.

Happy B-day y'all!

calm like a bomb: Let's get this out of the way....


That picture made my vagina lurch. That's not a good thing. Her stuff must flap in the wind. Good God Almighty!

andygump: My first son was born just two days ago, so the sappy and hero tags are fighting over who wins, and I'm just smiling like a goof.

Congrats!

Can only imagine being part of an octo. I'd have to kill the rest and absorb their souls.

It's good to be whole.

\And King of the Hill

As a quadruplet born in the late 70s, I am getting a kick out of these replies. Seriously. I can't imagine dealing with four at the same time much less 8 and one four years later. That woman deserves a medal. My mom was only 23 when we were born, but she decided after having four that she was done. The questions they get, I understand. I wish those kids patience to answer all the idiot questions that will come their way.

/No, I don't feel pain of my siblings
//No I am not identical (there is one brother in the mix)
///We look like we are related and that is about it.
////We range in size from 6'4 (my brother), to 5'1 (my smallest sister).

One kid would be hard enough to deal with, but a whole litter?

N. S. Radieaux: Were they given eight Pip Boys?

I was just wondering where they were gonna scrounge up enough parts for 8 of them.

Ever think maybe we have a problem?

People who have tons of crotch droppings at once while using fertility treatments shouldn't be glorified by the media or anyone.

If they had them naturally then, yeah I understand.


I'm not sure about the kids in TFA though.

Very cool. Have they been given their Pipboys yet?
