Doctors to remove feet that’s protruding from buttocks
Doctors are to attempt to remove a conjoined parasitic twin from a nine-month old baby.Eight-month-old Faith Mwampe suffers from having her undeveloped parasitic twin protruding from her buttocks.
Faith Mwampe has the feet of an unformed twin protruding from her buttocks, meaning she may never be able to walk unless it is removed.
The Zambian baby, who was born in April last year, is set to undergo the five-hour operation at the University Teaching Hospital in Lusaka next Thursday.
Her mother Mercy Lenganji, 18, faces an anxious wait as ten specialist doctors, led by Prof Lupando Munkonge, will try to remove the feet.
The baby has already spent the past 26 days undergoing tests ahead of the risky operation.
Mercy had known from scans that she was expecting twins, but during her caesarian section at the Malcolm Mine Hospital in the Zambian town of Mufilira, doctors discovered one of the babies had not developed.
"The doctors kept my child away from me for two days after she was born because they said the sight of her would have put me in shock," said Mercy.

Rotten Cheese
Casu Marzu: Cheese Eaten With Live MaggotsThere is cheese known as Casu Marzu that is served riddled with writhing maggots that try to jump into your eyeballs as you eat it." The cheese is only eaten with the maggots alive -- if it is eaten when they are dead, the cheese is poisonous. It is cut in thin strips and eaten on bread. Because it becomes toxic, the Casu Marzu is illegal -- but that doesn't stop some who love the cheese and believe it to be an aphrodisiac. Read more about The Grossest Food Ever -- Casu Marzu.

Man punished for abandoning rats
He did not want the rats living with his new baby
A Providence, Rhode Island man is in trouble after he abandoned nearly 300 rats on the side of the road.
The man, Toby Duffany, pleaded no contest to animal abandonment and was ordered to pay $1000 restitution and perform 50 hours of community service.
Police say Duffany crammed 280 rats into aquariums and cages, and left them on the side of the road in Foster last month. The rats were discovered several days after they were abandoned. 72 rats had died and the rest had resorted to cannibalism.
The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals euthanized the living rats.
In court, Duffany said he got rid of the rats because they could not live in his apartment with his new baby. The Rhode Island SPCA was disappointed with the punishment.

It's raining poop
It happened this Tuesday in Romania. Two airplanes emptied their toilets while flying over Craiova, one of the largest cities in the country. "I thought it started to rain but when I took a closer look, I noticed it was something brown that smelled like a toilet. I thought it was bird excrements at first, but then I realized it was human feces coming from above" a local said.
The most affected was a company that makes marble products. According to the owner, the "rain" lasted about a half an hour, creating an unbearable stench in the area, and covered most of the marble statues and monuments in his yard. He alerted the authorities, claiming damages over €100,000 ($130,000). However, most locals considered this, of course, a sign of good luck.
