Top News 1: Whoops, Octuplets!

Accidental Octuplets

I rarely have time to read the newspaper in the morning; though, when I do read it, I'm reading about the Warriors latest upset, or miraculous win. So, in order to supplement my current events knowledge I spend about half an hour, before I go to sleep, two or three times a week reading the latest in Google.com news.
So, tonight, I stumbled upon a woman who loves kids and 'accidentally' gave birth to octuplets (if you're confused, yes, that means eight babies at once). She tried to have another child through a sperm donor and embryo implant to try for one more girl, but, amazingly, rapid-fired eight children out simultaneously.
This story is important because it addresses how pregnancy assistance can cause unwanted results. More importantly, Nadya Suleman became only the second person in the United States to give birth to eight babies at once!
The timeliness makes this newsworthy because it happened this week; yet, the main reason this is such an interesting story is the bizarre factor. A human female octuplets is one of the most unusual topics you will ever find in a newspaper.

  1. Yes, it certainly is a bizarre story. It's also a human interest story.
