Quote:
By Diane Mapes

While a 92-year-old woman delivering a 60-year-old baby may sound like a bizarre plot twist from the movie �Benjamin Button,� it�s true. Huang Yijun, 92, of southern China, recently delivered a child which she�d been carrying for well over half a century.

The baby wasn�t alive, however. The woman was carrying a lithopedion � or stone baby. It's a rare phenomenon that occurs when a pregnancy fails and the fetus calcifies while still in the mother�s body.

Creepy... I'd freak out if I knew that was inside me.

And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with our scars
