> SAO PAULO, Brazil (AP) - A woman in northeastern Brazil has given birth to what one doctor called a ``giant baby,'' a boy weighing 16.7 pounds.
Someone got more than their bait back.
> Francisca Ramos dos Santos, 38, gave birth to the healthy boy named Ademilton on Tuesday at a hospital in Salvador, 900 miles northeast of Sao Paulo. He was the largest baby born at the Albert Sabin Maternity Hospital in its 12-year history, the hospital said.
OK, someone trot out the world record holder here.
> ``Obviously the baby was born by Caesarean section,''
Or by horrendous explosion.
> hospital director Rita Leal said. ``Both mother and baby are doing just fine.''
If you ignore the near complete evisceration of the mother.
> Ademilton ``could truly be considered a giant baby, for he was born weighing what a six-month-old-baby normally weighs,'' pediatrician Luiz Sena Azul told the Correio da Bahia newspaper.
16.7 pounds qualifies a giant when you are talking baby humans, not when
talking about baby elephumps.
> Santos has four other children - ages 9, 12, 14, and 15 - who were born weighing between 7.7 pounds and 11 pounds.

> ``She knew Ademilton would be a big baby, but not this big'' Leal said. ``She, her husband and the hospital staff were caught by surprise.''
Of course they were. The last ultrasound indicated it would only be a
14.6 pound baby.
> The average weight for newborns in Brazil is 7.7 pounds for boys and 6.6 pounds for girls.
I wonder why that is??
So the average weight is 7.7 pounds for a boy. That means 15.4 pounds
would be two boys. At 16.7 pounds, I claim that this baby is conjoined
twins (maybe triplets) that share EVERYTHING!

Your 250-column lines are falling off the edge of Kibo's monitor, and killing
Spot! ("Poor Spot!")
Your newsreader and terminal are conspiring to wrap them while you're looking
at them, so that after you post they can chuckle hilariously about how three-
quarters of your post is invisible because it went off the edge of the screen!
Learn to have your editor BEEP at you if you have a line that goes more than
80 columns, and/or start using slrn so that it can refuse to post unless you
make the width correct!
