Baby born in TV station parking lot
Cory Bergman October 31st, 2007
A couple pulled into KRIV-TV’s parking lot after getting stuck in traffic on the way to the hospital, and mom gave birth to baby boy. “All of us were busy working on the morning news when the call came back to the newsroom and we all scattered,” reads the blog on MyFoxHouston. “Everyone started gathering newspapers, plastic and towels to help but the paramedics were already there and had things well in hand.” Of course, the station is now asking for ideas to name the baby (which already has a name, by the way.)

It’s a FOX station, so I’d imagine Rupert will be in the running.

I’m sorry - newspapers?

I don’t know if this is still the case, but newspapers used to be handy in such situations because the ink used to print them sterilized the paper, so they were a good substitute for sterile cloths in an emergency. Not ideal, but better a clean newspaper than a dirty towel.

I have to agree with Dr. Acula’s comment, and name the baby “Rip Steakface.”
