#1 The University Clinic of Lubek said they had never heard of a case like it...

When I was a teenager I had a book of jokey strange-but-true occurrences. There was a case like that in it. I vaguely remember the couple in that case were Chinese. I'm surprised the clinic had never heard of such a thing. Maybe their doctors need to get out more.

#2 I'm speechless. Were these people the recipients of Islamic sex-ed or something? How dense do you have to be to not know that one part fits into another quite nicely - or, indeed, to figure it out? Have these people been living in a cave or something?

Yeah, I don't think I'd ever heard of a case like it, either; there are a lot of interesting infertility cases, but this one takes the cake.

#3 Sounds like a really strict fundamentelist christian group of some sort.

#4 I think its best that they continue the way thay are - people that dumb don't deserve the "happy ending"

#5 Angie> I believe I've also heard that case -- I remember that there was such a case in an Asian country anyway.

#7 That's some kinda religious environment they've got going there. Last time I was in Pennsylvania there were still lots of little miniature Amish people to be seen, and I have a hard time imagining how you can get more religious than them...

Unless the couple was originally from Balochistan, of course...

#8 If I was witty I'd make some comment about how Puritanism is always said to be descending on America, yet always seems to land in Europe.

But I'm not, so I won't....

#10 if they couldn't figure it out on their own then they prolly shouldn't have kids. OTOH, 10 years from now we'll prolly be reading about how they had 7 kids.....

#11 Are these people perhaps from Florida originally? People there have trouble finding the the hole!

#12 I think we have discovered the intended audience for the "prior to plane taxiing" demonstration of how to buckle and unbuckle the seat belts.

#14 There has to be some kind of a Darwin Award nomination here..... If you're too dumb to figure out how to procreate, you shouldn't

#15 Yeah, Fred, there are a lot of them here. I live in PA, just outside of Harrisburg; never stopped in the Amish country but travelled through it plenty of times. The sheer number of Stoltfutzes alone makes for some big buggy-jams at times.

Do you know, I once heard some idiot liken the Wahhabis to the Amish, in that both were extremely conservative? Incredible, that. The Amish are a great example of how a conservative religion can for the most part survive and allow the rest of society to pass it by (although if you believe my younger brother, the "simple life" is just a ploy, and they've actually got vast underground complexes powered by packs of mules, and wooden, water-wheel-powered death rays . . .).

#19 Germany - The place where a dead guy turned skeleton was only discovered five years after the terminal event because his disability payments finally fell short of his rent and utilities.
Automatic deposit and withdrawl at the bank.
They knew the exact date of death because his robed skeleton was found in the recliner, TV guide opened to the presumed date of death, five years earlier. The TV set had failed somewhere along the line. . . .

Bottom line, why was this couple's respective parents not at least doing the birds and bees thing when they were 12-13 years of age?

How did he get thru school without his comrades showing him certain magazines that at least one in a crowd has access to?
