This story made me all weepy in a good way:
http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/08/30/shrimp.boat.birth.ap/index.html?eref=rss_topstories
FREEPORT, Texas (AP) -- When the cook on his shrimp boat went into labor 30 miles offshore, captain Ed Keisel grabbed a new roll of paper towels and a first aid handbook and did the best he could.
He successfully delivered Cindy Preisel's baby boy, even though the baby's feet emerged first.
The captain sounds like an awesome guy, I almost think he deserves a medal for this.
Only thing I'm wondering is if she knew she was near her due date or not, and if yes why she was offshore so far.... but I don't want to ruin a perfectly good story by being (too) critical.
