Recent measurements show that the bright side of the Fomalhaut ring ...

Accuracy of the Chinese lunar calendar method to predict a baby's sex: a population-based study.

We estimated the accuracy of a non-invasive, inexpensive method (the Chinese lunar calendar, CLC) to predict the sex of a baby from around the time of conception, using 2,840,755 singleton births occurring in Sweden between 1973 and 2006. Maternal lunar age and month of conception were estimated, and used to predict each baby's sex, according to a published algorithm. Kappa statistics were esti...
