Has that post been stuck pending for a week?

[DrTre]

Bah.



Two arms and two legs on all of them.

I watched this earlier and I dont think the woman is right in the head. She just seemed unstable.

[Muntu]

Are you absolutely sure that they are the world's first ?

[captainzep]

I'm confused.

This is a human woman who has given birth an octopus, yes?

I've seen a video of that.

Intriguing is the word...mainly because I'm fairly sure it's not an octopus' natural habitat...

Hedders - where have you been all week?

That probably wasn't a real birth, just.....for fun. You know.

Fun?! The octupus didn't look like it enjoyed it much I can tell you... it looked traumatized...to death....

...

Absolutely right. 14 kids in the "family" in total. Single mum. The 8 were the result of fertility treatment where the mother refused to "thin out" the successful embryos (rearing the ethical questions about the practice of implanting so many).

And to top it all, the request for "Ophra's" help in commercialising the product.

The mother definately has some issues there. And the ethical standards of the medical practitioners willing to support her aims has to be questioned.

I imagine the original 6 kids will be somewhat sidelined..poor little gits.

[10 Pence Short]

Not even in Dewsbury! That's a surprise.

[BlueCello]

Soooo..................I'm guessing that since she had 6 already, this 8 came out, arm in arm, in a chorus line, singing???

Well, the door was probably big enough.

Anyway, which one's going to be lucky enough to be called Snow White, instead of Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy or Dopey?

Six kids, all under 8 years old. I bet they feel pretty sidelined already, with their baby spitting, handout sucking, local-bike mum out getting laid every night of the week.

Don't forget the "Fertility Treatment Sucking" in there as well. I don't think she classifies as local bike material though. Unless she lives next door to the local home for the blind.

She said: "Ah's just want's ta' be a mutha!"

Well, you did that ma'am. Are all y'alls children fathered by thu same brother/cousin/daddy (delete as appropriate)

She should be sterilised, and the children sold on eBay so they can go to loving families that will care for them.
