In this news from BBC, a man, yes you heard that right, has been fined by a court for telling his employer that he has to take a week off for being PREGNANT! Obviously the guy has failed his basic science or did he really expect to get pregnant after having sex with his girlfriend?

The post being re-posted here:

A South African man has been fined $140 for taking a week off work, telling his employers he was pregnant.

Charles Sibindana, 27, stole a certificate from a clinic during his pregnant girlfriend’s checkup, a court near Johannesburg heard. He then added his own details to the note and submitted it and took seven days off work, seemingly unaware that only women consult gynaecologists.

His employers became suspicious and investigated the matter.

On passing sentence Magistrate Bruno Van Eeden warned Mr Sibindana “not to walk around faking sick letters from gynaecologists” as if he was pregnant, the South African Press Association news agency reported.
