Bizarre News - February 11, 2015
Greetings fellow Bizarros: It is a condition so rare that it has only been documented 200 times--ever. It is called fetus in fetu, that is a newborn with a fetus in its abdomen.
At first doctors in China thought the baby girl had tumors, but computerized tomography after she was born showed the growths to be two 8-to-10-week-old fetuses.
Weighing less than an ounce each, they were far enough along to each have four limbs, a spine, a rib cage, intestines, and an anus, and to be connected through an umbilical cord to a single placenta-like mass.
"Since it is impossible for the little girl to have conceived the pregnancy on her own, the fertilization of the twin fetuses, of course, belongs to her parents, which has gone to the wrong place," a local doctor reported.
Occurring only an estimated 1 in 500,000 births, the World Health Organization has classified it as a type of cancer called mature teratoma, but some researchers classify it as demised multiple pregnancy.
The baby girl carrying the fetuses underwent successful surgery to remove them at just two weeks of age.

Email Lewis*-- Firefighters free woman's hair from robot vacuum --*CHANGWON, South Korea (UPI) - Emergency responders in a South Korean city were called to rescue a woman whose robot vacuum cleaner latched onto her hair while she was taking a nap. The Changwon city fire department said workers responded to the 52-year-old woman's Changwon home after the robot vacuum cleaner latched onto her hair while she was sleeping on the floor. The emergency responders were able to open the vacuum and free the woman after about 30 minutes, the fire department said. "This case was quite special," a fire department representative said. "We had seen weird things, but this was a very weird call that we received." The fire department said the woman lost about 10 strands of hair, but was otherwise unharmed. The device appears to be similar to the Roomba, a circular robotic vacuum cleaner that has sold more than 10 million units since hitting the market in 2002.
*-- Zoo stages escape drill with keeper dressed as leopard --*TOKYO (UPI) - A zoo in Tokyo dressed a worker in a cartoony snow leopard costume to stage an animal escape drill and test out the zoo's response. The Tama Zoological Park drill involved worker Toshiya Nomura donning the leopard suit and running wild around the zoo -- at one point staging a mock attack on a zoo worker -- before being brought down by a tranquilizer dart. Nomura played asleep for the drill and staff members ensured the "leopard" was sedated by poking it's head with a stick. "We focused on making this drill as realistic as possible. One of our staff being knocked down and injured was a part of that," said Yukata Funda, director of the Tama Zoological Park.
*-- READER COMMENTS --*Not sure why it was unclear why this dolt crawled in...if he was stiff (for way more than 4 hours no less) when they rescued him he obviously has a chute fetish. -P
OMG Lewis you are not supposed to tell the idoits about the plan! If you tell them then us freethinkers can't disguise ourselves when the government and military come in to take over.
