Woman Gives Birth to Giant Baby.

SAO PAULO, Brazil (AP) - A woman in northeastern Brazil has given birth to what one doctor called a "giant baby," a boy weighing 16.7 pounds.

Francisca Ramos dos Santos, 38, gave birth to the healthy boy named Ademilton on Tuesday at a hospital in Salvador, 900 miles northeast of Sao Paulo. He was the largest baby born at the Albert Sabin Maternity Hospital in its 12-year history, the hospital said.

I love this quote from the hospital director: "Obviously the baby was born by Caesarean section." Gee, ya think?
