I KNOW THIS IS OVER A WEEK OLD, BUT SERIOUSLY... 8 LIMBS?
In case you missed it, the first of the real life X-MEN was put under the knife recently to "cure" her of her "horrible mutation."
I guess she's technically a conjoined twin, it's just the other twin she's connected to doesn't have a head. Yeah, I know you're supposed to have sympathy or whatever, but man that's freaky.
She seems like a happy enough two year old, but I bet if they had let her keep the extra limbs, she would have grwon up to become either a Super Sillan or a Hindu Goddess.
Her super villan name could be something awesome like "Octopia" or "Spider Girl," and she would run really fast due to the extra limbs, and she'd also to really acrobatic stuff with her extra limbs, like dodge bullets and stuff. Man that would be awesome.
My extensive knowledge of Indian religions (I've seen Temple of Doom about 300 times) tells me if she were a goddess, she would have to choose between the evil heart-ripping Thugee cult, or the benevolent rock-worshiping Shiva followers. Tough choice.
Anyway, I read the surgery went well and I hope this little girl grows up to lead as normal of a life as a poor girl from India can. Maybe one day I'll be calling HP tech support and I'll get to hear: "Thank you for calling HP Total Care, my name is Octopia, how can I provide you with excellent service today?"
OK. I think I reached my limit for hilariously racist remarks for today, here's a serious video from CNN:
PS, the surgery to remove her extra limbs to 40 hours! That's a whole work-week. Pretty crazy.
