The Republic of Croatia Strikes Back

When word of the Ancient Chinese Calendar prediction reached the Republic of Croatia, it caused an uproar. The Croatians have been using an ancient technique to make predictions for centuries and it is "always right". After hearing of the 99% accurate Chinese prediction, the Croatian Department of Foreign Affairs assembled a strike team to land in the North West and decipher the baby's gender. "Sounds dangerous", blurted a mindless onlooker.

The ancient Croatian technique involves the use of a pendant and must be performed by a skilled conjuror. The Republic of Croatia nominated Tina Ratovic to lead the strike team. Despite the recent claims by Chinese scientists that the Mitzgerald/Glevens fetus is female, Ratovic stated: "It's only a 99% guarantee! The Croatian Pendant Technique is never wrong. So we'll see if the Chinese got lucky and guessed right."

When the strike team arrived Bemily met Tina for the Pendant reading; they prepared the room and ensured the proper energy was present. Tina helped Bemily relax and get in touch with herself and the small fetus growing inside her. As Bemily's eyelids grew heavy and the excited, joyous spirit of the fetus manifested itself in a smile the Kool-Aid man would be proud of, Tina knew the time was right. With deep concentration, highlighted by pursed lips, Tina began the reading. In the presence of the holy strike team, Tina summoned ancient Croatian energy and the pendant began to move. Tina asked the pendant for the sign of a girl, then for the sign of a boy. She then held the pendant near Bemily's growing belly and the pendant immediately and vivaciously made the sign of a boy. "It's a boy!" Tina exclaimed "It's definitely a boy."

So there you have it; after a promising prediction by the Chinese, the return of the conjuror has revealed that the fetus is male like his father before him.
