And now, a baby with two faces

Ah, the human condition.

I’m of two minds with this story. On the one hand, I wish her all the luck in the world and am grateful to the million little gods in her neighborhood that she was not born in medieval Europe.

On the other hand…I’m going to the foulest pit in hell for jokes I simply will not utter about her unusual condition.

You know what’s even more odd? I was watching the news and they were speaking about genetic mutations in people like these, and they spoke about a case from Massachusetts, where an adolescent girl(s?) has two heads. Separate heads. Two necks that stem from a normal torso. With their own brain, individuality, and thoughts. They are pretty happy and usual, considering how they were born. They go to High school and, as I imagine, participate in classes no different than yours or mine. They can walk, drive, and ride a bicycle comfortably. Their facial features aren’t deformed at all. My question is, which one controls the body?

Creepy stuff. Right there.

Are these the girls? They really are two girls, Siamese twins actually. I believe one controls the right arm/right leg, and the other controls the left. They can’t feel what’s going on in the other’s half.

I guess the baby with two faces was originally twins that just didn’t fully split? I wonder if she will be able to see out of all 4 eyes and talk with both mouths.

The Wiki gods tell us that craniofacial duplication isn’t a product of twinning, rather it’s a protien thing during embryonic development. Could be evil spirits though, I guess.

This is just too weird to even comment on.

But only one face, I presume?

(Save me a window seat)

Nevermind… info redundant by the time posted.

That kid is a little hypocrite.

PS - :wink:

The pilgrims are saying she’s a goddess, but she obviously a born politician.

Her mom can do her breastfeeding in half the time.

She’ll be able to sing harmony with herself.

Make a helluva school crossing guard.

Local physicians have already called in a specialist. Wayne Gretzky will handle the face off.

So, will she have independent control of her faces? What about her field of vision? It must be epic. Are the two mouths bisected or is it like two jaws encased in a face with no septum where there the two tongues battle for dominance?

The two mouths, I believe, are completely separate, Flander.

Everyone’s going to be calling her two-faced :smiley:

So she’ll be in Batman 8?

I don’t know why, but I find the possibilities here so cool. I hope she’s otherwise fine and gets to grow up. Maybe it’s the evil spectator in me, I don’t know, but I find it fascinating on many levels, not the least of which is scientific. I’d really like to come to know how everything functions for her.
I guess my wish for her is that she doesn’t grow up being treated like a sideshow freak. Nobody deserves that.
And now for something hopefully less contradictory…

You all are horrible! When she grows up, she’s going to hunt down everyone person who’s ever made fun of her and video tape their brutal torture and demise and send it to the world as a morbid documentary.
She’ll call it Faces of Death. :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Also brings new meaning to the old insult “four eyes”.

So when is happy hour in Hell?

Don’t be surprised if you find a picture of her pussy on the internet soon.

I’ll buy the second round.

“Look both ways before you cross the street.”
It’s getting crowded down here.

You people.

Tsk.

I’m reallllllllllly regretting clicking on the links.
