Baby Born With Third Arm
SHANGHAI, China -- Doctors in Shanghai on Tuesday were considering surgery options for a 2-month-old boy born with an unusually well-formed third arm.

Neither of the boy's two left arms is fully functional and tests have so far been unable to determine which was more developed, said Dr. Chen Bochang, head of the orthopedics department at Shanghai Children's Medical Center.

His case is quite peculiar. We have no record of any child with such a complete third arm," Chen said in a telephone interview.

7. That's Jesus' little arm - don't touch it! It exists per intelligent...
design! See, a year ago, God decided to play with the DNA within the womb of this special child. So, getting to work, He decided, "Hell, why SHOULDN'T the children of God have a third arm?" So now, we are presented with this wonderful miracle of God's brilliance. Packed into a child's tiny little arm.

Halleluia!

21. Wave of the future
The next generation human being? Or mutant? Boy, the Christofascists will have a ball with this one!!

Seriously, sounds like one of those cases where a potential double embryo for twins was reabsorbed and a chimera was born.
