It had teeth and hair... that's right. It was my twin.

Virginia, this one's for you! I had a lovely conversation with my mom last night, when she told me about some TV she had watched the night before. It was "101 Things Removed From the Human Body" which aired on TLC on Wednesday night. Hmmm.... sounds interesting, you might think? Listen to this. There was man on it that appeared to be pregnant. She said from the side, there was a noticeable bulge in his belly. This all took place in India, by the way. So he finally went to the doctor, realizing, GEE! There might be something wrong! The doctor isn't sure what it is, but they decide to operate and remove whatever is ailing this poor man. He removes quite a bit of liquid, and then discovers.... you ready for this....?
A hand. And a little person. That is correct, folks. This man's underdeveloped twin had been living in his stomach for YEARS. It had several body parts and was just hanging out in his bro's tummy. AAAAAAAHHHHH!
As some of you might recall, Virginia had a certain obsession for just this type of phenomena. It more accurately scares the bejesus out of her. She made us all watch an "X-Files" episode called "Humbug" where an underdeveloped twin detached itself from his circus freak brother and would kill people at night. That's the evil twin in the middle-top of the picture. Ooooooh science fiction. Something to think about. This sort of freaky stuff really happens. Maybe even to you.
I'll be in Memphis for a teacher's conference Monday through Wednesday, so you won't be hearing from me for a while. Have a great weekend. And watch out for people who have little twins living inside them. They can kill you. :)
