Sorry if this has been posted before. (Ran a search, didn’t see it.)

Was sent this link and apparently, this guy is…pregnant?! Maybe?

I just thought that you guys might be interested. I’m guessing it’s a hoax, but it’s very…disconcerting.

There was a thread about it, but it’s probably been a month or so. It not real, but the author’s of the site describe the whole thing as “art,” rather than a hoax. If you run a search on the pregnant man’s name you can see some other things he’s done.

What makes you think it might be a hoax? :rolleyes:

The Live ULTRASOUND Video is an animated .GIF file, maybe that is a clue?

I know this isn’t the same thing, but here’s a report from the CBC: [Can two men conceive a baby?](http://cbc.ca/cgi-bin/templates/view.cgi?/news/2000/09/25/menbaby000925)  
My first reaction is… _why??_

Thanks guys!

Yeah, I figured it was a joke/hoax/art but I kinda scooted outta that site real quick like cause it gave me the heebies jeebies. (So, I didn’t see the Gif files).

Snopes! Duh. Shoulda gone there first. Sorry, low sugar = ditzy spells.
