Come on, Somebody tell the truth, Is this for real?????

Course, my husband wants a baby and I'm too darn old...Is this the answer. I have a hard time picturing a 6'4" 240# WOP (his word, no offense intended) with a full beard and hair in a pony tail halfway down his back... pregnant.

I think I'll print out the times cover and show it to him when he gets home from work and tell him that is our solution. Anybody want to take bets about what he says???

A clever fake if you ask me...right down to the professional-looking website. That's what makes it seem credible.

Don't laugh too hard - about ten years ago OMNI science magazine ran an article on male pregnancy. At that time there had been research into the amount of eostrogen produced by the placenta. They had implanted a male baboon with a fetus and allowed the "pregnancy" to continue for some months before terminating.

The article went on to describe how an ectopic pregnany would affect a male and the ethics involved - including the increased risk of cancer and other problems.

But the real joker and why I remember the article after all these years? It appears the scientists found that the most successful site to implant embryo's in male mice was not the abdomen but inside the scrotal sac!

Now sing after me "If your balls hang low........"
