The Woman Who Gave Birth to a Horse
The Nigerian Nation reports that a woman gave birth to a horse during a service at the World Liberation Ministry in Edo State:
Assuming that the story is true — to the extent that a horse fetus really did emerge (or appear to emerge) from a woman during the church service — then we have to assume the incident was faked. That is, a horse fetus didn't really grow inside the woman's womb, because that would be impossible.
So what we have is a modern-day version of Mary Toft, the Woman Who Gave Birth to Rabbits (back in 1726).
Mary faked giving birth to rabbits in the hope of receiving a pension from the King. But why this Nigerian woman has faked giving birth to a horse is not yet known. Perhaps she's trying to help the World Ministry Church acquire a reputation for miracles.
It was gathered that the woman whose identity was not yet known started screaming during the prayer session and began to bleed from the vagina before the horse came out.
The General Overseer of the church, Evangelist Silva Wealth, said he was still amazed at what came out of the woman.
He told Journalists that during prayers a revelation came that there was a woman with an issue and that something was blocking her womb.
Silva said as prayers intensified, the woman started screaming and bleeding started when the object came out.
The cleric said he couldn't confirm whether the horse was dead or alive because he didn't go near it.
"I can't describe the object. We have seen people that vomited several things during our service but not this type of thing. God has been blessing our ministry with prophesies and miracles," he said.

Well, that itsn't really what a baby horse looks like, or even what a horse fetus looks like (I am from a farm family). Horse newborns are much, much to big to fit in a woman's womb, or to be birthed.

The joy of religious belief. Who needs facts when you have faith?

rosie : It could fit under a dress, which is all it would take.

I think God would have better ways of showing he likes your town than by causing something icky to drop out of someone's hoo-hah.
Seriously. Ew.

Seriously. Ew.
The picture almost puts me off my breakfast. Can it be put in a popup instead so people have a choice of whether or not they want to see it?
If you can't I'll just avoid the front page for a while.

Looks more like a deer or a deer-like animal to me, rather then a horse, especially with the shape of the head and ears. Possibly a still birth, although why on earth someone would want to stick that up themselves...well...people will do anything for money, I guess.

I never considered vomiting to be any kind of blessing or miracle and the only prophesy I can think of when upchucking is that I either ate something bad, was bound to lose weight, or was in for a bout of flu?
A human female giving birth to an non-human animal is, in fiction horror stories and mythology, typically ascribed to demonic issues.

It looks like a Breyer horse with some kind of jelly all over it. Ugh.
