Who knew the saviour of humanity would be Her Off 'Emmerdale'?

Now, logic would dictate that if you find a headline sufficiently intriguing, you will then go onto the story that follows. However, occasionally there are some titles so concise that you've no need to read the piece because its contents have been conveyed already.

I have found such an article.

I spotted it whilst looking round the MSN homepage. There, tucked away in the celebrity section, was this astonishing bit of self-contained news:

Natalie has first baby boy.

What a scoop, eh? Honestly, I'm surprised MSN hasn't given this a more prominent place on its site. I mean, come on, the first baby boy? What mankind has really been lacking up until now has been, well, men, so to learn that Natalie Anderson off of Emmerdale has provided us with one finally is quite frankly something worth celebrating.

Hang on though. You might very well be thinking "hang on a second. Unless I dramatically understood my Primary School biology lessons, I'm pretty sure for this glorious conception to have taken place, she would have needed help from a male."

And you'd be right. So, did Natalie, formerly of Emmerdale, indeed produce this boy, the first, with a man, or is this an even more miraculous event - a virgin birth?

Well, no. It turns out she does have a partner, the baby does have a dad, and she has definitely not made the first male ever. What she has done is get her first son. Now that's not so impressive, let alone worthy of press coverage unless it's among the births listings in a newspaper.

Thanks for getting my interest up on false pretences, MSN. Next time, make your headlines less obscure or else your next top story will be Boy Launches Complaint Against Website. Cheers!
