Omni Magazine...

I miss Omni. Scientific American, Popular Science, and Discover just don't fill the void. They're all sci-fact, no sci-fi.

I had forgotten about that mag. I loved it too.

Ditto. Discover is the closest to it, but it lacks the sci-fi flair. I was a religious reader of Omni.

I think I read in Omni once that men could get "pregnant" if you implanted a fetus next to the small intestine. The fetus would then absorb the nutrients it needed directly.

Omni was fun to read, kind of like the National Enquirer.

Right, but it was fun to read in a way that, apparently, no other publication can duplicate.

I read Omni from Issue One (with the Geiger cover) up until the UFO freaks took over.

Unfortunately, I had to sacrifice my complete collection from issue one during a move. There was no ebay in those days.

Well, it can happen in women:

Quote:

An ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy that develops outside a woman's uterus (womb). This happens when the fertilized egg from the ovary does not implant itself normally in the uterus. Instead, the egg develops somewhere else in the abdomen. The products of this conception are abnormal and cannot develop into fetuses.

* The most common place that ectopic pregnancy occurs is in one of the fallopian tubes (a so-called tubal pregnancy). These are the tubes that transport the egg from the ovary to the uterus. Ectopic pregnancies also can be found on the outside of the uterus, on the ovaries, or attached to the bowel.

If you used the right hormonal balancers, could you get that to work in a man? I dunno.
[edit] It's considered life-threatening, so is treated surgically. Right-to-lifers: is this an abortion? Is it God's will?
