Did you all know that back in February a woman gave birth to some cheese? I sure hope it was an all natural water birth.

Babies need to be delivered carefully, even delicious cheese babies. Although I have a comment on one doctor’s opinion:

One attending doctor, speaking on the condition that they remain anonymous, remarked that it is not uncommon for some individuals to fake medical conditions in order to gain attention and financial support. Using cheese to fake a pregnancy, however, seems to be unprecedented, even among the mentally ill.

No, good doctor, this is not entirely unprecedented. Technically the use of cheese may be unprecedented, but one other woman in history has gone to such severe lengths.

The only woman to outshine the this fete is Mary Toft, a woman who sent the medical community trying to gain ground in 1726 back into the middle ages. Her story is amazing and you can read it on wikipedia, but basically the woman was overcome with longing for rabbits and began to give bith to them, and the entire village and medical community believed this was possible at the time.

Let’s just hope this cheese incident doesn’t lead to the following sentance in a major publication, “Every creature in town, both men and women, have been to see and feel her: the perpetual emotions, noises and rumblings in her Belly are something prodigious; all the eminent physicians, surgeons and man-midwives in London are there Day and Night to watch her next production.”
