TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras - A 74-year-old farmer living in a depressed region of Honduras has fathered 35 children and says he has the energy to have more with his wife, who is pregnant again. Santos Pastor Baca, who has lived all his life in the village of Concepcion 30 miles (50 km) south of the Honduran capital of Tegucigalpa, says his oldest child is 51 and the youngest just 3 months old.

Honduras' Bestselling la Prensa newspaper quoted him on Sunday as saying, I have decided to keep giving my country children. (AFP)
