NINE-POUND, NINE-OUNCE BABY BORN 9/9/99 (w/***NIN???) (AP) - Nicholas Stephen Wadle was born at 9:09 a.m. on the ninth day of the ninth month of 1999. His weight? Nine pounds, nine ounces. "This is probably one of the more fun and interesting things that can happen," Sarah Starmer, a spokeswoman for the hospital said. The baby was due September 15, but complications the mother, Mary (not the BVM!) had previously had in giving birth led her doctor to schedule a (hail) ceaserean (salad) section for Thursday. Starmer said the delivery had been set for 8:00 a.m. but another emergency pushed (PUSH! BREATHE! C'MON, PUSH!) it back to 9:09 a.m.(Actually that would be pushing it forward, wouldn't it?) Trying to push (AGAIN, HARDER, YOU CAN DO IT!) the number convergence a bit further (no doubt to make news and promote the hospital and to justify having a spokeswoman for such a SMALL place to begin with...) hospital officials tried to find a room number with a nine in it. (Hey guys, how 'bout just finding an empty or CLEAN one???) None was available, and the mother and son ended up in Room 2115. (You do the math - yup, it = 9.) Psychic spokesprick for the hospital predicted that, as a result of all these coNinEcidences, one of NSteeeve's appendages could grow to be ***NINE INCHES LONG!!! Those of us in the know know (or no-no) it can't be his nails (NIN) Note to e-zine editor - the facts are thAIR, my comments are in ()s. I intentionally left out the name of the city til now. It's a place we all have been, though we may not remember it without some regression therapy (of T or F memory kind). Yup, it's the now-famous BM(poop)-h, Beloit Memorial Hospital, conveniently located next to Burdge Elementary School and the toboggan run on the golf course (no need to spring for an ambulance - the wounded are within carrying distance!)

Note from e-zine editor: Ouch! Yes indeed, I did time in Beloit before moving 20 km further up to the Screw Capital of the World (hardware, mind you), where I once saw a comedian who said: Beloit what's that? The sound of a nickle falling into a toilet?
