#4 So, 2X4, you're saying this has happened before?
I was thinking: "spider woman".

You ain't seen nothin' yet.

This kind of thing has always fascinated me, so I did some googling around for "isciopagus". Don't do that, because it's "ischiopagus".

Anyhow, reading about "parasitic twins" led me to this page. Let's not see Ms. Day on the front page of the Defender-Scimitar and Times-Picayune, please. But do read the heartwarming story of how her father suggested her current occupation.

#7 I've seen photos of many folks like this in the olde time freakshows. A very interesting sight, many parasitic twins seem to have been fairly benign additions to the "host". I wish this young lady all the luck in the world - sounds like she may need it.

#8 I wonder if she managed to finish nursing school or if the lure of show business proved too strong.

#9 GK, no, just... Girl's name's Lakshmi. Goddess' name's Lakshmi too, with four arms and two legs... doctors promise to remove extra limbs, I have to wonder what do they mean... ;-)

#11 Apparently, there was a reason why parents named their girl Lakshmi => Kali has 8 arms, Lakshmi 4. Else they would name her Kali if she had 8 arms. Just FYI, Grumenk Philalzabod0723. ;-)
