Has anyone heard of a baby born this long born before?

I was reading in Yahoos news about Don Johnson's wife having a baby...

"He was 27 1/2 inches long and weighed 7 pounds, spokesman Elliot Mintz said. "

This has to be a typo. I have never heard of a 27 1/2 inch baby at birth. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

    That does seem really long, but all the other news stories are quoting the same length. Perhaps they meant 17 1/2 inches long?

    That sounds wrong to me! The Average newborn is 19-22 inches long. Maybe the baby is part gazelle?

    babies come in all shapes and sizes--as long as they are healthy who really cares how tall they are when they are born! My grandson was born 29 inches tall and weighed in at 9.4 pounds--all his fingers and toes are there, he's healthy and happy and growing like he should--that's all that really matters to me!
