Mommy, my stomach hurts ... After a boy in Bangladesh complained of a stomach ache, doctors discovered a fetus in his abdomen. Apparently, the 4.5 pound fetus was 16-year-old Abu Raihan's undeveloped twin. Physicians at Bangabadnhu Medical University surgically removed it on Saturday.

There were similar cases in Britain and the US; what appeared to be a appendicitis turned out to be a conjoined twin. The Bangladesh incident sounds like an unusually large extraction.

I think the actor Andy Garcia also had a similar malady. His twin, however, was located on his shoulder. Nature is strange sometimes.

Isn't that Richard Grant? Looks like a scene from How to Get Ahead in Advertising.

I wonder how much Abu weighed at birth if his twin was 4.5lbs.

Don't bother pretending that you haven't seen my box, Julia, because I know you have.

Love it.

But then, this is what came to mind for me.
