A simple case of miraculous conception
Never bring your uterus to a knife fight. I think that's how the old adage goes, or perhaps, how it should go.
NCBI ROFL reports on the strange story of a woman with no vagina, who nevertheless managed to end up "with child", apparently thanks to giving a blow job, followed by receiving a stab wound. Trust me, you'll want to read the full summary. The case report is real and comes from a 1988 issue of the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
