Entry: Another divine conception?

I was watching an episode of 'MythBusters' this past weekend in which they put an urban legend to the test regarding a woman who became pregnant after being shot. I have no idea why, but I felt like posting about this one.

(By the way...if you're wondering why I put up the picture of that girl on the right and not of Adam nor Jamie, it's because I think she's hot.)

Apparently, during the civil war, a union soldier took a musket ball to the shin which, conveniently, richochet (sp?) off, struck and pierced his "unmentionables", then found its way to and lodged itself in some random woman's abdomen. She then later finds that she is pregnant.

Where do people come up with things like that?!?!

Wow, that's almost as bad as the "you can get pregnant by using the toilet after a boy" rumors that used to float around middle-school.

No no no! Everybody knows that you can't get pregnant by using a toilet after a boy...only by kissing them! ;)

It's not the toilet... it's the pool. Don't swim in the pool with boys.
