URBAN LEGEND OF THE DAY: PREGNANT WITH WHAT??
So anyway, a friend of mine's cousin's aunt's chiropracter's daughter lived in California and used to go swimming all the time. Then, one day, her stomach started swelling. Her mom went crazy, assuming the girl had gotten herself pregnant, but after a trip to the doctor's office, the girl was vindicated: it was actually a tumor.

An operation was scheduled immediately, but as doctor's cut her open, they were horrified to find a baby octopus living in her stomach! Doctors later theorized the following: octopus eggs are microscopic and are laid in clusters of tens of thousands. They are usually stuck to the ocean floor, but some must have broke free, then were swallowed by the girl.

It's a really good thing the friend of mine's cousin's aunt's chiropracter's daughter is just a figment of my imagination. Check out the real scoop from Snopes, and have a great weekend! New Podcast coming on Monday!
