Somehow, the photo in the article mesmerises me.
I really hope that kid pulls through fine. :/ |

It seems like every time you hear of these things, it's always Egypt or India or some odd dark-skinned foreign country. Do the parents just keep it quiet when it happens over in 'these' parts?
The head that was removed from Manar had been capable of smiling and blinking but not independent life, doctors said.
eek.. that's freaky.
Video footage provided by the hospital, a national center in Egypt for children’s medicine, showed Manar smiling and at ease in a cot with the dark-haired “parasitic” twin, attached at the upper left side of the girl’s skull, occasionally blinking.
EEEEEEKk!! *squirms* |

If they were born earlier they could've been playing Zaphod in the Hitchiker's movie. |

Edit: By the way, if anyone's wondering why I keep posting this image, I feel that it is better than posting "HEADSHOT" or "OMG THATS DIGUSTING KILL ME NOW" and whatnot. |

I sincerely doubt it wasn't capable of independent life if it had its own brain and was most likely formed from a whole other sperm. :?
I give that link the official "Why Did I Click That?" seal of approval. |

The second head/torso reminds me of one of those doll heads/torsos that you see at craft stores. Well, after the opperation you could make yourself the most realistic babydoll with the spare head. :twisted: |

That picture is from news footage shot at some town meeting. That guy (I can't remember his last name) was accused of embezzling funds from the town, and decided to off himself in front of the entire meeting. It's really grisly footage.. The camera operator zooms right in as it happens, so you get a really good view of everything that happens right afterwards.
Where I live we have a public access cable channel that goes completely nuts after about 10pm. There was one show that had nothing but uncensored suicides, and I happened to catch this fellow's footage when I was flipping channels. I took the public access channel off my station surfing lineup after that. |

Now that the smoke's gone
and the air is all clear
Those who were right there
got a new kind of fear
You'd fight and you were right
but they were just too strong
They'd stick it in your face
and let you smell what they consider wrong
That's why I say hey man nice, nice shot
What a good shot, man
-Filter, "Hey Man, Nice Shot", inspired by the 1987 televised suicide of Pennsylvania State Treasurer R. Budd Dwyer. |

He's R. Budd Dwyer, he was the Pennsylvania state treasurer, and the quote is "If this will offend you, please leave the room. Stay away, this thing will hurt someone." :twisted: |

GAH!! The picture on that news article looks like something I'd expect from either a crap Photoshop or some kind of low-budget 80's horror movie. It's true though, how come we never hear about freakish deformities like that happening over in the US or some such?
Freakish. |
