> [@Declan](#): > > Sounds like either a band , or a Frank Zappa song > > Declan Hey that was a band! In about 1987 the L.A. punk fanzine Flipside released their second “Vinyl fanzine” (LP) which featured about 20 bands, one of them Vagina Dentata, with one of the better songs on the album, “Golden Boys.” I had the idea at the time they may have been Japanese because of the accents in the little into-to-the-song groove all the bands got, but I could be wrong. ---

“teratoma-induced vagina dentata” This is another one of those things that I NEVER EVER thought could ever occur in real life. Thanks, SDMB. I’m gonna have really weird dreams tonight. :: twitch :: :: whimper :: ---

> [@Olentzero](#): > > The Master [speaketh](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a981002a.html). He doesn’t address teratoma-induced vagina dentata specifically, but what he does say about it doesn’t leaves the conclusion close enough to jump to. From the above column … “tumor-driven cell division results in a lot of the same stuff you see in a developing fetus, including cartilage, bone, teeth, hair, **brain tissue** , and sometimes even bowel, skull, vertebrae, and eyes.” _(Bolding mine)_ Brain tissue? :eek: If this can happen, it can presumably happen “to the extreme” and form a fully functioning human being - however unlikely! Could this explain the Immaculate Conception? 😕 ---

> [@Shrinking Violet](#): > > If this can happen, it can presumably happen “to the extreme” and form a fully functioning human being - however unlikely! > > Could this explain the Immaculate Conception? 😕 If one is going to reject the supernatural in trying to explain the IC (as I have), I think it’s far more likely that the story is simply wrong (i.e. Jesus was conceived like you and I) than that He was a tumor… But then, “Jesus Was A Tumor” is of course a great band name… ---

MARY: It was God, mama. God came upon… err… came to me, and now I am with child. It is God’s child… immaculately conceived. 🙂 TOWN ELDER: \ OK, then. Standing policy on young virgins inseminated by God and not the large uncircumised barbarian is… \ Banishment. You shall be given a camel and a flagon of water and sent into the desert. :wally TOWN ELDER: Next case, that of one Joseph, also accused of lying with the barbarian man with the large… [fade out] ---

> [@Shrinking Violet](#): > > Could this explain the Immaculate Conception? 😕 “Immaculate Conception” doesn’t mean what you think it means. It refers to the conception of Mary by her (non-virginal) mother without original sin.
