This is a very elaborate hoax. If you look closely, you will notice
that there are no addresses, phone numbers or any other administrator
information provided. In addition, if you go to this website address:
http://www.malepregnancy.com/CNN/index.html you will notice that the
date at the very bottom of the website page (with the same identical
picture of the pregnant man) is 2001. Lastly, if you go to:
http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/weekly/aa100400a.htm it explains
how the hoax came about. This is a very good website to use to check
out questionable emails and websites. Another good source that I use
is:
