- yroc92 8y agoThis might be the most wild thing I've ever read.
- LyndsySimon 8y agoThere was a reported case of a virgin birth during the US Civil War, where a bullet passed through a soldier’s testes and ended up in a young lady. https://en.m.wikisource.org/wiki/Attention_Gynaecologists!_—_Notes_from_the_Diary_of_a_Field_and_Hospital_Surgeon,_C._S._A https://en.m.wikisource.org/wiki/Attention_Gynaecologists!_—.... It’s generally considered to be farcical, but I’ve seen it passed off as real.
- dbasedweeb 8y agoIIRC Mythbusters had an episode about this “son of a gun” myth and concluded that it was essentially impossible. It still makes an amazing story. Like all virgin births I expect the truth was either that it was entirely fabricated, or it was real insofar as the woman in question didn’t want to publically give up her “virtue” (which given the periods involved, is understandable). Plus you as a bonus you get long odds on starting a religion.

- bb88 8y agoSo for the people who don't want to spend 3 minutes to read it: 1. The woman did not have a full vagina leading to the uterus, but instead had more of a 2" dimple. 2. The woman was practicing oral sex. 3. She was stabbed in the abdomen. 4. 9 months later a child was delivered by c-section. 5. At 5 years, the child had a remarkable resemblance to the father. The theory is: 1. Saliva has a high pH which would allow the semen to survive. 2. Her stomach contents were empty when they were repairing her stab wounds, so her stomach might not have been producing acid. 3. The stab wound allowed the semen to flow to her uterus, impregnating her.
