If the Danes (of which I’m partially ancestral) do the Viking thing to their crosswalks, wouldn’t the Norwegians and Swedes do the same in their capital cities Oslo and Stockholm respectively? (I wonder if it was Christina’s parents who submitted that factoid to Ripley’s.)

Since there are about 250 babies born every minute…. Big deal!

I was born 9/12 at 9:12 and weighed 9 pounds and 12 ounces. Actually I was born 9/14 at 11:15 and don’t know my birth weight, but I like to have fun.
Take care and may God bless.

In Russian a hedgehog is a “Еж” (yo~zh) which also means, guess what? Yes, that’s right, urchin!

I live in the center of Copenhagen and walk through the city a lot. I have never ever seen a viking crosswalk sign. Never ever.

Wow. Hedgehogs were called urchins. Now I can breathe easy the rest of the day. What fascinating fact will I learn tomorrow?

Hence the term, “Sea Urchin”

No need for the signs – I always stop and let Vikings cross the road…

I took a picture of my wristwatch`one time. The time was 11:11. The date was 11/11/11.

And many of the urchins were adopted by ill-informed landowners…

So hedgehogs in town were called street urchins?

5 lbs, 8 oz; born on the 8th at 8:05 pm. However, I wasn’t born in May, August, 1958, or 1985. So, only partially amazing!

Good thing that little urchin Christina wasn’t born in a country that uses metric weights or it would have been totally unremarkable.

Vikings, I always think “Cod fish!”

That child may be destined to work in emergency services when she grows up =)

And she was born 91.1 miles above the planet’s surface, Earth’s youngest astronaut. You go, baby girl!

I doubt that a 9 lb 11 oz baby needed an incubator.

Hedgehogs were urchins? Well, that explains how certain water-dwelling echinoderms are called sea urchins.
