Yeah, and, you know, but on the other hand, doctors pointed out, you know, this was a case report written in a legit peer-reviewed medical journal.

As for Neil, he said, you know, it was extremely unlikely to have happened, but who knows?

The case report says that about two and a half years later, baby is still perfectly healthy.

And in fact, it says, quote, by that time, the son looked very much like the legal father, the new boyfriend in the story.

It says, quote, the young mother, her family, and the likely father adapted themselves rapidly to the new situation and some cattle changed hands to prove that there were no hard feelings.

Thanks, Joel.

And Joel Werner has a brand new podcast out.

It's a historical thriller called Assassins.

It's from the ABC, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

And it's hosted by Aslan Pahari, who maybe you know as the hello, my friend guy from TikTok.

He's really great.

And each episode of Assassins tells the story of one of history's most shocking assassinations, from Abraham Lincoln to Tupac.

And there's some science in some of the episodes, too.

Like for 3,000 years, the death of Pharaoh Ramses III was a mystery until some scientists came along and solved the riddle.

You can find Assassins wherever you get your podcasts.
