I don't just make this stuff up!

Hey, remember when I told you guys that the youngest woman on record to ever give live birth was six years old? And someone said, "That's not even possible," and I insisted that the girl had reached puberty at a very young age, three if I remember correctly, (probably due to hormones in her dairy or eggs, although that's questionable) then got sexually abused by some homeless guy in her South American village at age five and subsequently gave birth to a boy by ceasarian section at age six?
Well it's true. Very occasionally, girls mature at a very young age. They even have a term for it nowadays. They call it 'precocious puberty'. Here is an example.

Radar on :

Great article Wren. I had heard of such things before (Ripley's Believe It or Not, Guiness Book of work Records, etc.) but it was good to get a little more facts about this medical issue. Though it kind of sounded toward the end of the article that just about everything causes precocious puberty.

But next time would you mind marking something like this as NSFW?! Thank heavens that I didn't read it until I got home. That is not a conversation that I want to have with my boss. :)
