Baby boy gives two-finger salute to the world... from inside the WOMB

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... -WOMB.html

If Owen Skeffington grows up to show a lack of respect for authority, his parents can hardly complain that he didn't warn them.

A scan taken at 27 weeks clearly shows the infant raising two fingers to the camera.

Such was the hilarity at Royal Preston Hospital that the sonographer asked permission of his parents, Owen senior and Kelly, to put the picture on the wall.

The 4D scan image of baby Owen Patrick Skeffington sticking his two fingers up to the camera

The couple, from Ashton, Preston, who also have three-year-old twins girls, Niamh and Erin, said they couldn't decide whether baby Owen was being rude to them or simply showing how many sisters he has.

His father Owen, 34, joked: 'Luckily, he didn't come out sticking two fingers up!'

Owen's comical antics caused great hilarity at the hospital. The sonographer carrying out the scan even asked for the couple's permission to reproduce the image and put it on the wall for other patients to see.

Kelly has since given birth to Owen at Royal Preson Hospital.

According to popular legend, the rude V-sign was a gesture of defiance first used by English and Welsh archers during the 100 Years War against France.

The French apparently threatened to cut off the arrow-shooting fingers of the longbow men, so the archers would wave these two fingers to show they could still shoot.

thats cute but whos to say the baby was doing that on purpose? Nowhere does it say as soon as the ultrasound started he positioned his fingers, he could have very well had his hand positioned like that from time.

So what do you say guys, should we label this thread a HOAX?

LOL..........

Ultrasound images are trippy..........I don't get how the hand/arm is coming from the side of the head like that, seems it would be below the neck for real, but I am sure no expert on fetal formation!

Yes that is really ugly. But giving the peace sign is a hoot. Even if the appendage comes out of it's ear. Nothing to see here, move along folks, nothing to see here. Gross!

LOL What? is that what you got from it? no one was trying to say that I don't think. I believe it was posted because of the rarity and humor factor.
