Misplaced modifiers.

Louise Brown was the first test tube baby. She gave birth.

Her sister, Natalie, was also a test-tube baby. She was first of the test-tube babies to give birth.

So Louise was the first test-tube baby and she gave birth.
And Natalie was the first of the test-tube babies to have given birth.

That concludes English class for today.

Seems more like my high school semantics and logic class.

But, i get your point.

Some english chick had a baby. Stop the presses.

Okay, got it. The first test tube baby had a baby. Natalie was a test-tube baby, but NOT the first test-tube baby. Natalie had a baby before her sister.

I'm tired.
