Fertility statues may get you pregnant

BEIJING, Feb. 6 (Chinese medianet) -- A trip to Ripley's

Believe It or Not museum in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, may make it easier for

couples to have a baby.

The museum launched a month-long display of its

fertility statues Thursday. The 5-foot tall wooden statues have been on display

around the world. According to the company, more than 2,000 women have reported

becoming pregnant after touching the statues.

The museum says those statues were gained from the

Ivory Coast of West Africa in 1993 and then placed in its corporate

headquarters. Within months, 13 women became pregnant.

Couples planning to have a baby can touch the statues

for free during business hours.
