Get Out, Get Out Now: Woman Gives Birth to 16-Pound Baby

It should become law: Francisca Ramos dos Santos is never, ever, to be sassed or back-talked. The Associated Press says the 38-year-old Santos gave birth to a 16.7-pound baby boy on Tuesday at a hospital in Brazil. (Here's a picture of the big fella'.)

Bestowed with the name "Ademilton," the giant baby boy has the weight of a six-month old. Both he and his mother are doing fine, but the hospital's nursery has been beset by creaking noises and cracks in its load-bearing walls.

... And because you're undoubtedly curious: "Obviously the baby was born by Caesarean section," says hospital director Rita Leal. -- Mac
