News of the Weird
Bizarre but true stories about real people collected by syndicated columnist Chuck Shepherd.
Unintelligent design:
–A puppy with six legs and two penises was reported outside the Kwang Sung Temple in Malaysia in June, according to that country’s Star newspaper.
–A kitten was born with two faces in July in Grove City, Ohio, and another with just one eye and no nose was born in Syracuse, N.Y., in April.
–The World Aquarium in St. Louis, Mo., ran an exhibit in August featuring 10 two-headed snakes and turtles.
–A 24-year-old businessman, in a hospital in New Delhi, India, in August, was reported to have two functioning penises.
–Sanju Bhagat was admitted to a hospital in Nagpur, India, in August, where doctors expected to find a very large abdominal cyst, but instead, said surgeon Ajay Mehta, “To my surprise and horror, I could shake hands with somebody inside.” Bhagat was a victim of fetus in fetu, in which his birth twin had migrated to the inside of his body and continued to leech off of him. Mehta extracted feet, hands, hair and jaw.
