Mmmmmmmmmmmm. Bite size.

SDKaneda		2002-05-26 02:19:47 PM

sorry, no deal. i like my babies with a ghetto booty.

andonbray		2002-05-26 02:20:59 PM

Was that its weight before or after cooking?

kotton		2002-05-26 02:22:01 PM

10 oz.. thats still quite heavy.. I mean. is like almost a pop can.

You know.. maybe women would stop complaining about having kids if they all came out this size. Be like pushing out a really large turd. (or in reality, a pop can.. and who hasn't seen those videos?) Then that way us guys would have to listen to "labor pains" stories.

could anybody PLLEEESSEEEE find out how to geneticly alter the size of kids when the come out.

BunnyX		2002-05-26 02:23:24 PM

"She really had the will to live, (...)," said the pediatrician

And an incubator, and medical staff, and gas/food/poop tubes...

kotton		2002-05-26 02:23:30 PM

edit:
Then that way us guys wouldn't have to listen to "labor pains" stories.

I'm always horriable with contractions. I always forget my n't.

JOHNDX		2002-05-26 02:24:59 PM

*patiently sits and waits for the Awwwwwwwwwww*

You guys are ruthless

andonbray		2002-05-26 02:26:05 PM

Kotton I think that the 10oz. is in reference to weight, not volume. Hmmm... how much volume could a 10oz. baby hold?

TheAlmightyHat		2002-05-26 02:26:13 PM

Get in my belly?

Was that good enough?

BunnyX		2002-05-26 02:27:32 PM

Sorry John, I just hate seeing new people coming into the world. ;) So many fresh minds and hearts just waiting to have their hopes and dreams STOMPED INTO THE DIRT BY SPIKY BOOT THINGIES! *STOMP STOMP* ARHRHHAHAA.

Uhm, yeah.

Hytes Xian		2002-05-26 02:28:47 PM

the baby's survival was a "true and proper miracle."
as opposed to a false and improper miracle, or hoax. What intrigues me is the possibility of a true and improper miracle. Imagine that the baby survived but on the day before she went home started.....

CheezieDanish		2002-05-26 02:28:55 PM

Awwwwwwwwwww* I foresee a lot of problems with this kid in the future (if she survives.) So Sad.

PeterNorth		2002-05-26 02:29:31 PM

Kotton,

I thought you were talking about baby-type contractions

lavhoes		2002-05-26 02:29:45 PM

ah, the Taco Bell meat cloning project. i heard about this over my tin foil hat.

ranold		2002-05-26 02:31:04 PM

Lunch Time!

BunnyX		2002-05-26 02:31:30 PM

No kidding Cheezie. I was born prematurely too. Lots of minor pain in the ass health problems. But it could be worse. At least I dont have an ass for a face.

Cid_Highwind		2002-05-26 02:32:25 PM

Well, if the doctors couldn't find anything wrong, I don't think the kid'll have any serious problems.

Hmm...

*senses an impending abortion debate*

JOHNDX		2002-05-26 02:33:39 PM

Thankyou Cheeziedanish for the Awwwwwwwwww :)

Sorry John, I just hate seeing new people coming into the world. ;) So many fresh minds and hearts just waiting to have their hopes and dreams STOMPED INTO THE DIRT BY SPIKY BOOT THINGIES! *STOMP STOMP* ARHRHHAHAA.

Goodness!!!

SteamyRain		2002-05-26 02:34:58 PM

I liked the weight loss ad in the middle of the article. It really added a nice touch.

jaimeekae		2002-05-26 02:38:31 PM

i cannot believe there has not been one single "awwwwwwwwwwwww"

so i take pleasure in being hte first:
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

obviously i am the only farkette who has got here so far.

Bisifiniti		2002-05-26 02:40:04 PM

Who's putting the penis in her mouth in the picture?

Hytes Xian		2002-05-26 02:40:52 PM

Maybe this little girl and the Russian Samson-boy could get together and, uh, like, do something, like, maybe go have their picture taken with Janet Reno. Or something.

Hint.....F5

CheezieDanish		2002-05-26 02:43:17 PM

Jaimeekae Read much?

JOHNDX You and I - we could raise a packet of squirrels and be quite successful, me thinks.

Humanoid_Typhoon		2002-05-26 02:43:28 PM

As a scientologist I would have to disagree, that baby sounds way more tastier then a quarter pounder

Mr.Bubbles		2002-05-26 02:45:25 PM

Humanoid_Tyhpoon Then is listing, than is comparing. Ill forgive you this time because you are a scientologist.

Forsythe P. Jones		2002-05-26 02:45:29 PM

"Baby's got back!"..hehe
And an Aaaaawwww for JohnDX
Now my wife and I are going to practice making babies...

PeterNorth		2002-05-26 02:46:51 PM

devolution, no solution

Merltech		2002-05-26 02:47:28 PM

I don't want to see the medical bill.

cot		2002-05-26 02:48:26 PM

Kotton :

You're such a cu!

JOHNDX		2002-05-26 02:50:53 PM

Thanks Forsythe :)

JOHNDX You and I - we could raise a packet of squirrels and be quite successful, me thinks.

*grins*

I sincerely hope this child lives a long and healthy life

A teapot for a head.

Gonadotron		2002-05-26 03:04:05 PM

not a miracle. too many people already.

chz668		2002-05-26 03:05:58 PM

personally, i find this:

funny. maybe inapprpriately placed, but funny.

BelDion		2002-05-26 03:25:10 PM

lol

Best. Headline. Ever.

BiggMak		2002-05-26 04:00:04 PM

The baby was induced.

When one's spit out that size of the body's own free will, then we'll give up an awww or two.

Young_Fart		2002-05-26 04:27:27 PM

Worst headline ever.

spazzm		2002-05-26 04:30:06 PM

10 oz? Quarter pounder?

For god's sake, get with the metric system already. Damn neanderthals.

spazzm		2002-05-26 04:37:04 PM

You know why "english" units are stupid?
Here's why.

ChrisKlaver		2002-05-26 04:38:38 PM

How many kilograms is that?

spazzm		2002-05-26 04:40:58 PM

Not even England uses english units anymore, fer cryin' out loud!

beer baron		2002-05-26 05:55:28 PM

"The metric system is the tool of the Devil!"

littleLostHellHound		2002-05-26 05:58:26 PM

I think that the child will grow up normally. The parents did the right thing by not revealing who they are. A media circus would be the worst thing for this kid (or any child/children born with unusual circumstances) we dont need a modern day Dionne Quintuplets tale..

LittleLostHellHound / LoKi

phix-it		2002-05-26 06:04:38 PM

I predict in 18 years the baby will be in midget porn.

phix-it		2002-05-26 06:06:10 PM

"Git in mah BELLY!"

Medical team that took care of the baby:

!

Wishing you all the best, little one.

Virion		2002-05-26 06:33:10 PM

Not as tasty...unless you're a scientologist.

Parasitic_Spin		2002-05-26 07:00:29 PM

I totally hope this kid has the best life ever....

....but except for occasionally on the discovery health channel, I don't think there's enought equal time given to all the families whose kids turn out inhumanely compromised....

I hope she succeeds.
