A 63-year-old South Korean woman was shocked to learn she "became pregnant" with 12 baby squid after eating a portion of calamari. The story -- definitely giving new meaning to the term "Octomom" -- was detailed in a scientific paper authored by researchers at the Kwandong University College of Medicine.
Here's what happened: The unnamed woman, who we will refer to here as "New Octomom," said she was eating a portion of whole squid when she felt an extremely sharp pain in her mouth. She told doctors she could feel something in her mouth, which she described as "bug-like organisms."
"She did not swallow the portion, but spat it out immediately," the researchers wrote. "She complained of a pricking and foreign-body sensation in the oral cavity."
After the woman was hospitalized, doctors discovered "baby cephalopods" -- tiny pods covered in a cementlike material to make them stick -- attached to the inside of her mouth. The pods, which covered her gums, tongue and cheek, were filled with an "ejaculatory apparatus" and sperm, with the apparatus discharging the sperm very forcefully.

That's just a little fresher than I prefer.
