Dilbert - When the UPN Network first started, they contacted Scott Adams about doing an animated version of his comic strip "Dilbert."  The show was more outlandish than the strip, as was proven by two episodes in their second and final season.  In a two parter, Dilbert builds a model rocket ship to explore space and retrieve alien DNA.  The Rocket not only retrieves an alien embryo, but an embryo fathered by a childless millionaire, bull semen, human semen from a sperm bank, nanites and more.  The samples get mixed together as the rocket travels the world.  The rocket returns to Dilbert in the end (in more ways than one.)  The result is that one of the embryos is now implanted inside Dilbert.  He carries the baby to term and ends up sending it to the planet Krypton, where two parents who just happened to send their baby into space years earlier find it.  Click on the logo to the left to view pictures from the episodes.

News Stories
The Globe and Mail - Canadian Newspaper (08/15/2003)	The Globe and Mail - It may be every woman's fantasy, and a nightmare for the typical man: creating a male mom.  The notion of pregnant men may still seem to belong to the realm of fiction, but the prospect inched closer to reality with a medical miracle in Montreal recently.
Pravda - Russian Newspaper (07/04/2003)	Pravda - Swedish Professor Mats Braennstroem says that in three years the first baby may be born from a transplanted uterus. According to the scientist, experiments that his team performed on animals proved that a child can normally develop in a transplanted uterus.
Philipino Man Pregnant - In late May of 1992, a Philipino man, claiming to be a hermaphrodite, announced that he was pregnant.  The story was soon picked up by news agencies throughout the world and was even the subject of many a late night talk show hosts monologues.  However less than two week later, it would prove to be a hoax.  I'm still looking for the original articles (so far, all I can find are the ones declaring it a hoax.)  Click on the picture to the left for a bigger picture and the story.

KSJO-FM Billboard - This is a billboard for a San Jose Radio Station's morning show. I've heard of other similar billboards, but for other morning shows, so I'm guessing that an ad agency sold this idea to many stations, or all of the stations are owned by the same company.  Click on the image to enlarge.
