A hospital director in the Egyptian coastal city of Alexandria says a woman has successfully given birth to septuplets...

The babies' weights range from 3.2 pounds (1.45 kilograms) to 2.8 kilograms (6.17 pounds).

(AP, so no large excerpt; see article at link, and first comment below.)

The impressive thing about this to me was the weights. If there were seven babies, ranging from 3.2 pounds to over 6 pounds, that means the woman was carrying something between 23 and 40 pounds of babies.

Makes me tired and sore just thinking about it, and I'm not even female...

Are they all muslims?

Just what the world needs—seven more towelies.

Sheesh. So much for standing in awe of God's gift of Life.

I didn't think of this as a Muslim-bashing thread. Besides, you're free to spend the rest of your day making more non-Muslims; have at it. ;-)

Excellent post - and a lot more diplomatically phrased than I would have managed!

You’re right, the weights are amazing. Even if she did have to spend the last 2 months in the hospital. Well maybe that’s why they are healthy. Anyway, that was a LOT of extra weight to be hauling around.

Thanks ;-)

And I must say that the visual image of a bunch of cranky Judeo-Christians hauling their wives back into the sack on a Saturday morning for a quickie ("C'mon honey, we can't let them damn towelheads get the jump on us!") cracked me up.

Hell, if I had a woman out here in the woods with me today, that's what -I'd- be doing too!

Not all Egyptians are Muz. A dear friend of mine’s father is an Egyptian and Christian, and it hurts him to no end that most people look at him and think muzzie.

Thank you for rebuking those who were posting ignorant commetns that they probably think are cute.

These people either don't realize or don't care how badly that sort of behavior reflects on FR.

One can’t help but wonder which of the sisters will eventually be murdered by which of the brothers in order to maintain the family honor. And of course, which male cousins the sisters will be forced to marry.
