Aren't babies amazing?!

I was watching some Discovery Channel show. Again. And found out something amazing. About babies.

For the first 6 months of the baby's life, you can drop one of them into a tub of water, and they'll be able to survive in it, for a couple of minutes or seconds or something.

Apparently it's because babies have been ensconced in their mother's amniotic fluid in the wombs for 9 months, and they have the super powers to actually breathe in water, or to not breathe when in water. It's either one or the other. I can't remember which.

Whatever it is, isn't it amazing?!

I'm not sure whether they've done actual tests to prove this; as in dropping an actual real life baby into an actual tub of water. But they do sound pretty sure of themselves, so I'll just believe them.

Anybody who's got a baby who's less than 6-months old that they're willing to loan me?

Guess not huh...

I'll guess I'll have to get my own baby to try it out then. All in the name of science.

Sigh! Even if I manage to get myself impregnated tonight, somehow or other, I'll have to wait at least 9 months to test it out. Which is really a long time to wait.

I guess I won't bother rushing it then. I'll wait for a baby to appear in good time. As and when.

Guess you guys just have to wait....


For all those smart people who know how it actually and really works, feel free to drop me a line, and tell me that I'm so wrong! I'm always on a quest for new knowledge.
