An Icelandic woman is 90 years old today, nothing unusual with that, the average age woman reach is 83.
But, this woman has 189 descendents! The 190th is expected next month.
She got off to a good start with 14 children and then they "only" managed 52 kids between them.

Yes, that occurred to me at 4.30 this morning. I will alter it. (Though some dictionaries have both meanings for offspring).
