Does "six months prematurely" mean "after four months in his mother's womb, he came to the world (gave birth)?
Context:
@oristarA,
That is certainly what they've written.
It would be three months. Women are normally only pregnant for nine.
Imagine a fetus walking out of a Patriotic and Revolutionary Vagina....
They actually teach that crap to kids?
Most likely it should be "prematurely at six months."
@Ceili,
10 lunar months (39 or 40 weeks)
some docs (maybe this is regional) here now talk about 10 months v 9
@Ceili,
that had me cracking up all morning
Sot here a hummingbird fortold the birth - in our society it was an angel and the baby came nine months later. At least both messengers had wings.
I hate to say it but I really like that hummingbird + patriotic vagina story.
Set was just telling me that Koreans are born at one year of age, so Kim Jong Il would have been born at 8 months (maybe - the story isn't entirely clear)
Wikipedia explains it like this ...
Quote:Koreans celebrate their birthdays,[10] even though every Korean gains one 'sal' on New Year's Day.[11] Because the first year comes at birth and the second on the first day of the lunar New Year, a child born, for example, on December 29 (of the lunar calendar) will reach two years of age on Seolnal (Korean New Year) , when they are only days old in western reckoning.[12]

@Ceili,
Quote: a Patriotic and Revolutionary Vagina....
That's the bit that caught my attention.
