did anyone in UK watch Bodyshockers just now on channel 4? it was about a 7 yr old boy in khazakstan who gave birth to his own twin! at the age of 7!
The condition is called Foetus in Foetu. It takes place early on in pregnancy where a woman has twin zygotes, but one of the twin cells is smaller and is enveloped in the larger twin. The little one then forms an umbilical cord inside the larger twin and feeds off it like a parasite. If its undetected then the baby is born with its twin inside it. The parasite continues to feed off the healthy twin until it is removed. I have seen a lot in medicine, but I’ve never seen anything like that before in my life. I was not grossed out by it, jus shocked an fascinated at how something like that could happen. It has only been documented a couple of times in the world so the chances are one in a billion maybe. But one thing that stuck in my mind was that 1 out of 8 pregnancies start off as twins, but only 10% of these actually end up being born as twins. Which means that 1 in 7 of us were conceived with a twin and we fought it and killed it in a battle to increase our chances of survival. Deep huh?

I saw a clip on richard and judy. I don't watch it usually but Kelly Osbourne was on there and i heard about this thing. Man, it was ugly, it looked like a lump of leather. I could understand the people not knowing what was inside the kid but when a 7 year old boys got a bigger belly than Santa, you know that he's got to get checked out. Could you imagine having something like that growing inside of you? Sends dhills down my spine. Well, i'm gonna watch Graham Norton now on channel 4. Alan cumming is on and i love him. He was great in X2.
yeah kind of sick isn't it.
But its veryyyyyyyyyyy rare

Okay, you guys are going to think I'm weird, or wierder i mean. Here it goes. I just watched Eyes Wide Shut and was wondering if the guy who played the desk clerk at a hotel was Paul Ruebens (aka Pee Wee Herman). So I read the credits and it ended up being Alan Cumming. Then, I letterally look down at my computer screen a second later and I see ab012f9448 wrote something about Alan Cumming! That was just trippy.
