Woman in Iran "gives birth to frog"

Iranian woman 'gives birth to frog'

An Iranian newspaper has reported the controversial story of a woman who claims to have given birth to a frog.
The Iranian daily Etemaad says the creature is believed to have grown from larva to an adult frog inside her body.

While it is unclear how this could have happened, the paper carries quotes from medical experts who say there are human characteristics to the animal.

It has been speculated that the woman, who has not been named, unknowingly picked up the larva while she was swimming in a dirty pool.

The woman, from the south-eastern city of Iranshahr, is a mother of two children.

The "so-called frog", as the newspaper puts it, has yet to undergo precise genetic and anatomic tests.

But it quotes clinical biology expert Dr Aminifard as saying: "The similarities are in appearance, the shape of the fingers and the size and shape of the tongue."

Medical history recounts stories of people who believed they had frogs - or even lizards or snakes - living and growing in their bodies.

One of the most famous was the 17th Century case of Catharina Geisslerin, known as "the toad-vomiting woman" of Germany.

When she died in 1662 doctors are said to have performed an autopsy, but found no evidence animals had ever lived inside her body.

I wonder who the father was :roll:

 

"I blame the lizards" :lol:

 

I didn't know there were lizardmen rapists!

 

There's the father brainiac.

 

Yeah, those damn lizards trying to take over the world...
I think she just did it to attract people's attention.

 

Shapeshifting Reptiles are NOT a laughing matter.

 

Hi!你地班仆撚街!屌你老豆!

 

Would seem that the reptiles want thier world back.

 

Kermit Frog?

I'd hate to have to kiss that baby!

 

Why? It might become your prince.

 

Um, Q, it's supposed to become a prince if a princess kisses it. Now, if Chaos does it instead, more likely it'll turn into some ugly monster...

 

That's just begging for a smart-ass reply.

 

And yet, all you typed was that... go figure.

 

Well, I generally ignore things that beg.

Unless it's some guy in a thong, begging for a nice nipple-squeeze.

 

So Silvara, how does that *not* be true? a princess kisses the frog, and it turns into a prince...
