The heaviest baby ever born in Indonesia, Akbar Risuddin, center (OK, you could have figured that out yourself), lies between two more normal-sized babies. The baby, who weighed 19.2 pounds at birth, has drawn crowds. His name, Akbar - or the Great in Arabic - seems appropriate. His father, Muhammad Hasanuddin, is 50 years old, which means he'll be in his mid- to late 60s when Akbar is a teenager. I'm guessing that when Muhammad's peers are retiring, he'll be working two jobs to pay his family's food bills. Read more about Akbar.
