In the Character Guide it says that Cartman's mom is his father and his mother is unknown. I thought that Cartman's mom was both his mother AND his father! What's the deal?

What's the deal? - Dude, this ain't "Chinatown." Cartman's mom is a hermaphrodite, meaning she has the reproductive organs of both an man and a woman. However, hermaphrodites cannot mate with themselves.
Mephisto's lab work proved that Cartman's mom was his genetic father, though everyone (including Cartman) considers her his mom. Stan even joked in "Cripple Fight" (#503) how Cartman doesn't have a "father" (as in the traditional, male figure sense). Get it?
