Red face Holy Mother of ......

A nun who gave birth to a baby boy in the central Italian city of Rieti, said she had no idea she was pregnant, local media report.

The 31-year-old was rushed to hospital with abdominal pains, which she thought were stomach cramps.

The young mother, who is originally from El Salvador, reportedly named her newborn Francis after the current Pope. Wasn't the pope was it!!!!!!????

The mayor of Rieti, Simone Petrangeli has appealed to the public and media to respect the woman's privacy.

The news has drawn international attention to the small city of 47,700 inhabitants.

The nun called the ambulance on Wednesday morning. A few hours later she gave birth to a healthy baby boy.

"I did not know I was pregnant. I only felt a stomach pain," she was quoted as saying by the Ansa news agency.

People at the hospital have begun collecting clothes and donations for the mother and her child, Italian media say.

The woman belongs to a convent near Rieti, which manages an old people's home. Was it a dirty old fella???!!!

Fellow nuns at the convent said they were "surprised" by the news.

Local pastor Don Fabrizio Borrello told journalists that the nun planned to take care of the baby.

"I guess she's telling the truth when she says she arrived at the hospital unaware of the pregnancy."

Can't recall the link, but there are a considerable number of claimed virgin births in the USA.

Pete, while you are here (and sorry for the thread hijack) my Panasonic plasma is coming up to one year old. How long before it needs re-gassing?

You won't live long enough for the Plasma to need re-gassing.

Surely you don't believe that urban myth?

You'll be believing in virgin births next ...... oh, hang on ..............

My son was 10 when he came up to me one day, because his school concert etc. was bringing up some thoughts for him. He shared- "Mum, I don't believe in God". I was a bit surprised so I asked why. He answered- "Because Mary couldn't have got pregnant without Joseph's help". I didn't know what to say. Ah, well. Free country.

An LED screen made by a decent firm such as Panasonic will have every bit as good a picture as a plasma and will use considerably less power too.

It's really good to see you back. But I have to say that you don't sound like yourself. You hardly ever did Ha ha before. You hardly ever winked either.

Anyway, we were all worried for you. Good to see you back.

Good to see Les back with the kind of classic post we all know and love.

I mean that most affectionately - not taking the pee. (Well, not much ).

Three nuns were talking. The first nun said, "I was cleaning in Father Murphy's room the other day and do you know what I found? A bunch of pornographic magazines."

"What did you do?" the other nuns asked.

"Well, of course I threw them in the trash."

The second nun said, "Well, I can top that. I was in Father Murphy's room putting away the laundry and I found a bunch of condoms!"

"Oh my!" gasped the other nuns. "What did you do?"

"I poked holes in all of them!" she replied.

The third nun fainted.

Q: What's black and white and crawls along pavements?

A: A wounded nun.
