My Three Dads
The alleged victim of the Duke lacrosse rape case is pregnant. And in other news, human biology has been drastically altered. Here's the lede on an AP story about it:
DURHAM, N.C. — A judge ordered testing Friday to determine whether three Duke lacrosse players fathered the child of a woman who accuses them of rape — a prospect defense attorneys dismissed as an "absolute impossibility."
Say what you will about the case, but you can't really argue with the defense attorneys here. Last time I checked, it is indeed an absolute impossibility for three men to be the biological father of one child. But hey, maybe they're doing some crazy bio-engineering down there at Duke. Just imagine the amount of catch a kid with three dads would have to play. Whew.
(Hat tip to my friend Marty for pointing this out.)

My money's on the lede having gotten bollixed up by either the reporter or the wire service. Read further down in the story and you see that the "absolute impossiblity" isn't about Sarah and Her Three Dads but a statement by defense attorneys explaining why they think the woman could not have gotten pregnant at all that night.
