Interesting fact: after 9/11, there was a sharp decline in the number of animals born without ears or legs. Something to do with the toxins released into the air after the impact.
Huh. I knew there was some research that found lower birth weight and length in human babies that were in the area and gestating at the time, as well as lower head circumference for children borne by of mothers who were specifically in their first trimester at the time.
But I can't find anything on ears and legs missing. Toss me a link?
Hang on--after 9/11, there was a sharp *decline* in the number of animals born without ears or legs? (What kind of animals? Those born from unspayed pets? Wild rats?) D'you mean "after the births of the animals that were pre-natal during 9/11, and the animals that were gestating after the toxins were cleaned up[1] started being born"?
I mean, I confess to being faintly amused by the idea of "Hey, all these toxins in the air are reducing the number deformed births!" but I kind of suspect that's not what you meant. --- [1] Kinda.
It used to be pretty common to find rats, the homeless, ferrets, and other kinds of weasels without arms, legs, or what have you crawling around Manhattan. But after 9/11, they all disappeared. In fact, there's creatures out there with dozens of limbs and and eyes and such.
It's all in the report I had fabricated for the CDC, and it's publicly available if you request document #RG911-47 from the CDC.gov document fulfillment center. Well, I mean in theory, you could. Your request will be ignored, because it's been withdrawn from the public for national security reasons. They won't even acknowledge it's existence.
