A pregnant Missouri woman has given birth to a baby child that looks identical to WWII British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. The boy, coincidentally named Winston, was born at the local hospital four nights ago - and even at birth, surgeons spotted the remarkable resemblance to the wartime hero.
"I've delivered babies for over 30 years but in all my time I've never seen a new born with a cigar in it's mouth and such cheeky features", said Doctor Guy Nokology, "quite simply remarkable!"
And incredibly, the baby is already speaking in the dulcet tones made famous by his famous forbearer.
"Yesterday he responded to a woman that said he was a chubby baby", said a nurse, "he replied - and I quote - 'I may be fat, but that I can change. But you, madam, will always be ugly."
The story of this incredible baby was released to local newspapers and soon the child's story was being distributed worldwide.
"It's a sign", said one woman, "a sign of the apocalypse. The child is the only hope for humanity. We must protect the child at all costs".
Others were less crazy:
"I think it's a good thing", said a local Farmer, "it'll bring tourism to this here area from them fruity British wacko's and old timers".
