Thanks Val. It was not at all meant to offend. I truly find that stuff fascinating. It's really happening right hear on our planet and I love a good story of triumphing over adversity. The Doctors that can separate these people successfully are heroes, and the conjoined twins that can't be separated but live successfully are an example for all of us for how to get along with others and make the best of a less than ideal situation.
Seriously, if you all get a chance to watch the TLC program about the "girl with two heads" you will be moved by it.
Frankly, I'm disappointed that a mod felt a need to delete that post.
I can see how my posting those in this context could be construed as bad taste. It was not my intent to poke fun at genuine living oddities, or to diminish their humanity. Had Jye not made his comment about the tree man, I would not have thought to post them here.
