Creepy.

They didn't say anything about a head or brain or anything.

Not sure I really want to know! Blech.

Glad the guy's doing better.

I wonder if they qualify to do a Doublemint gum commercial?

In some parts, it's a delicacy.

(That's one old story, ABC, need some attention?)

Might be old but that was an incredible story. I've heard about a woman how carried her unborn child for 30-50 years inside of her before it was removed. but this I even found more amazing.

That's fucking gross. That reminds of that Will & Grace episode where Grace freaks out about that medical show she's watching where they took a tumor out of a guy and it had mini-teeth and mini-hair and when they poked it it said "ow"

It's so Steven King's The Dark Half.
Or Andrea Martin's character in My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

You would think that sometime during 36 years a doctor would have examined him and ordered X-rays to find out what was going on with the man's abdomen...? An X-ray would have revealed what was growing inside his body...

Rural India probably doesn't have anything like typical Western medical clinics. Just a guess. Sounded pretty poor.

HOO-Fah! The things you learn here. I had no idea that this was even possible. I would have thought that the guy's body would have treated the 'twin' as a foreign object and attacked it and gotten rid of it early on.
