click link for more, plus an xray picture. http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23419627-details/Toddler+with+eight+limbs+branded+'reincarnation+of+Hindu+god'+to+undergo+life-saving+operation/article.do Very interesting story. Not sure what to make of it. I believe in reincarnation, and baby looks very much like Vishnu. It's just...with this day and age of photochopping, still hard to accept. |

Kinda seems like they are de-shnuing her. I guess that's better than martyring her

Well, too many limbs to be Vishnu. Weird how people jumped on the reincarnation bandwagon - seems like if Vishnu wanted to come back as an extra-limbed person, Vishnu would get the number of appendages right.

But it makes you wonder if certain birth defect were the start of certain mythology? Kind of like natural mummification prompting some to achieve sainthood.
