When I saw that story, the only thing I could think of was this.

It also reminded me of a passage from the book When The Air Hits Your Brain by Frank Vertosik, MD (a neurosurgeon), which I cannot track down at the moment, in which he explained this kind of thing was likely due to the nature of fetal development.

Cheers!
