Whales, Stabbings, and Babies: The Craziest "How" Stories Ever

from Strange Scapes · host Adam and Ronna

Welcome to the "Wait, How is That Physically Possible?" episode. We are diving into two stories that defy the laws of nature and leave us with more questions than we have answers (which is nothing new for us).Imagine you’re diving for lobster and suddenly the lights go out. You aren’t in a cave—you’re in a humpback whale. We’re breaking down the terrifying and miraculous story of the Cape Cod diver who was swallowed by a whale and lived to tell the tale. We discuss the Whale Habitat Accidental Lodging Exit and the logistics of being inside a 60,000-pound mouth without becoming lunch.Then, we transition to a story that has stumped the internet and the medical community alike. We’re looking at the case of a woman who successfully became pregnant despite being born without a vagina. How did the "swimmers" reach their destination? It involves a stabbing, some very confused doctors, and a biological path that shouldn't exist. It’s a literal one-in-a-billion story that brings a whole new meaning to "where there's a will, there's a way."
