Hang on, how on earth can a human possiblygive birth to a bunny? It's physically impossible!

I'm surprised that the infection she developed didn't kill her or impact her ability to carry a child.

I first heard about Mary Toft from the Vagina Museum, but it's cool to hear it covered by you all!

Don't you mean "the woman who gave birth to rabbits," not "the women who gave birth to rabbits?" Might want to fix that before it goes public.

I love/dread seeing Tumblr posts about how people have not changed in character from ancient times. On one hand if they knew our tech and lingo they'd slide right in today. On the other hand, we really haven't gotten any better.

This is just one of those "what the hell" history that casually pops up once in a while.

Nope. The Vagina Museum is a relatively new museum in London dedicated to gynecological anatomy and related topics. They tweeted a thread about Mary Toft sometime in the last year or so.
