Can I Get Pregnant From A Dog?

As of April 2010 you can visit Google and type in "can i get" and see the auto-suggestion of.... "can i get pregnant from a dog!" The Google suggest feature is intended to suggest the most likely search given the current term based on actual search volume! Let's hope it's malfunctioning in this case.

The answer is of course, "NO"! Why? According to wikianswers dog sperm can penetrate a human egg but the egg will die immediately because the male & female chromosomes don't match. As a general rule different animal species can not produce offspring. However, some animals have been to known to have virgin births!
