At least someday he will make good fire wood!

 

[Barrucadu]

Wow, is all I can say to that.

 

[bricio]

i think he will be fine as the doctor found out his real problem

 

[Krossat]

Oh my!
Those images wont leave my mind in a hurry!
Its good he's getting cured of the disease!

 

[weblord]

only his face can be distinguished as human, if his body were behind a tree, i can't recognize it.

This is a interesting story for this guy, It makes me wonder if his genetic code (our cells) is made up of the same 4 protien bases that exist in our genetic code.

Because we have what is known as a, t, c, and g
(a = atemine | t = thiamine | c = cytosene | g = guanine)

And about 4 or 5 months ago (maybe a little longer) a girl in china (I might be wrong on the location, as I'm going off the top of my head) Was born with 2 sets of arm's , they tested her genetic code and found that she had a big offset of g(guanine) and a 5th protien base that at the time they said it was unidentified , and I still have yet to read anything more on that.

So I'm wondering if this guy has some sort of 5th or maybe 6th protien in his genetic code.

But no matter what, this is very strange.

And I think there is a baby with 2 face's as well right now. What a crazy time in this world.

I watched a program about him last night - he has 2 daughters already :tu:

He works in a circus as its the only way he can support them and the other acts were equally amazing. A US doctor is trying to find a cure also for this.

Geez, that looks pretty bad indeed.

Happy ending after all, that was it all that matters now he's no longer alone, figuring the cure.
