Dozens of women want Bronze Age hunter's babies
Dozens of women have asked to be made pregnant by a prehistoric iceman who died 5,000 years ago.
The body of "Otzi the Iceman" was discovered by hikers in 1991 as ice melted in the Schnalstal glacier, high in the Italian Alps.
Alex Susanna, director of the Bozen Museum where his body is exhibited, says requests have been received by many women wanting to have Otzi's babies.
He told Austrian broadcasting company ORF that all of the requests had been turned down, not least because Otzi's penis had decayed away.
Otzi was found half emerged from the ice and his body was first thought to be that of a modern climber. Closer examination showed he was still wearing goatskin leggings and a grass cape.
His copper-headed axe and a quiver full of arrows were found nearby and radio-carbon dating showed the body was more than 5,000 years old.

Find his bank account. One penny invested at 1% annual compound interest for 5,000 years would yield $40,445,379,355,237,700,000!
I think there's quite a few women who would tell you this had happened to them.
Please ping me.

No inconvenience! Just surprised of the three year response rate. I see where the thread was resurrected recently.
Anyway, it was fun!
Ironic that a three yr old ping occured on an article about a 5000 year old mummy...
:)
Criminy, what the hell did I drink that day in order to post that drivel?
A case of news traveling very S-L-O-W-L-Y, perhaps. LOL!
Just like a glacier melting... :) or retreating ....or whatever takes EONS.
