Sad to say, yes it’s real.

Well, when you can save the animated .GIF that’s supposed to be the “live EKG feed” of the guy, I’d have to say that it’s a fake. Not to mention the other issues.

Although this seems to be a fake, it is possible. When a fetus starts to develop in the abdominal cavity of a female (adheres to the intestines)it’s called a utopic pregnancy…I think.

The same could happen to a male but the “father” needs to be ball-less…nut free…untestified as it were.

Yep. And a really early one, too. It was called _Rabbit Test_ and came out in 1978.

Of course, the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie _Junior_ had the same theme.
