  • The tale of a woman named Catherine Bridge, who supposedly holds the World Record for the most babies in a lone pregnancy by giving birth to 17 babies, has been making the rounds of social media since 2014: Of course, this account did not originate with any real incident or news report, but with a 20 January 2014 article published by World News Daily Report (WNDR), a notorious purveyor of junk news: The original WNDR article included only the photograph of 17 blue-clothed babies shown above; someone latter embellished the social media version by adding a (manipulated) image of a pregnant woman and a picture of a man sitting on a sofa amidst a multitude of diaper-clad infants. The record for most surviving children produced in a single pregnancy remains eight, a feat accomplished in 2009 by Nadya Suleman, more commonly known as Octomom. (A few instances of the live birth of nine children stemming from a single pregnancy have been recorded, but those children all died shortly afterwards.) (en)
