HE'S A CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK:

Woman carries fetus for 46 years (The Ottawa Citizen, October 27, 2002)

RABAT, Morocco -- A 75-year-old woman who complained of stomach pains was found to have been carrying a calcified fetus -- a "stone baby" -- for 46 years, doctors said.

The doctors said they removed a 3.5-kilogram fetus they believe had been lodged in the woman's abdomen since an ectopic pregnancy in 1956.

Jeez--and ten months always seemed like an eternity. Posted by Orrin Judd at October 27, 2002 2:42 PM
