Super Babies

In comparison to centuries ago, the continuing of developing world has witnessed people (talking about you and me here) accessing to sophisticated technology, abundant entertainment and not forgetting to mention the basic necessity of cleaner water, finer food and better health care and clothing. Because our standard of living has improved tremendously, we now have witnessed a minority group of women in this world to deliver super babies; something like these would have been called supernatural incidents if happened centuries ago. Below are just some of the articles that I have come across lately:

A Russian baby started talking minutes after being born. Baby Stepan pronounced his first word right after he was born, distinctly saying "papa" and "mama". According to the obsetrian, the fetus can learn while still in the mother's womb, "if a mother talks to the fetus, entertains it as if it has been born already, the baby is usually born gifted". The baby's mother is just 17 years old.

If you think the above is pure coincidence, then read this. The very next day, when the baby's mother was telling him that his dad was about to visit them at the hospital, he asked: "who? papa?". I wonder how the mother reacted to this circumstance; for certain, i would have dumb-folded. But at least we now can justify that all those silly pre-natal education work does miracles.

Next, karina Oakley is not a baby anymore but she certainly has a remarkable talent. A two-year-old girl has been found to have an IQ of 160, making her among the top 3% of the population in Britain. While the mean population has IQ of 100, it has been reported that a score of 160 was rare but was not unheard of.

A similar case, a two-year-old with IQ of 156 is the youngest Mensa member. Elise Tan-Roberts was five months when she spoke her first word, she was walking three months later and running two months after that. Before her first birthday, she could recognise her written name and by 16 months, she could count to 10. She is now able to do the same in Spanish. A written report stated that Elise was more than very bright and capable - she is gifted. Only those with an IQ of 148 and above, the top 2% of population, qualify for Mensa; Elise was recommended and accepted to Mensa, making her the youngest Mensa member to this date.

Lets move on to a physical-wise super baby, I am dead jealous of those mentally gifted babies. The above baby who was born in India, name being unknown, weighed at 52.5 kg is just 11 months!! Take a deep breath before you read this. His daily consumption is 1 kg of rice, 2 kgs of beef and 5 litres of milk!!
