spider-baby, spider-baby, doin' the things a spider-baby does....

flaEsq		2007-12-15 11:18:37 AM

Fek! It's a spider with the head of a baby! Could be Dougal right out of Father Ted, a BBC gem

A two-year-old girl born with four arms, four legs and extra internal organs

Probably shouldn't have gestated her those extra 15 months...

mentallo69		2007-12-15 03:14:12 PM

I need pics STAT holy S$%t

illiterate_chimp		2007-12-15 03:14:27 PM

any one else amused that this took place in india?

brantgoose		2007-12-15 03:15:48 PM

Lon Chaney singing the theme song? Noooooo!

Nooooo!

I've got to get that movie!

And here's my Squidbillies reference again: Squidbilly. Speaking of great theme songs.

That kid just threw away an awesome career in porn.

Bat boy unimpressed.

Yeah Yeah Yeah

Seriously though, that's pretty f'd up--I hope the operation was a success and wish her the best

Gotard		2007-12-15 03:18:46 PM

Let me be the first to say- USELESS WITHOUT PICTURES!

Slightly. I was concerned for the health of the baby, mostly because there would have been some pressure on the family to leave the child as is and install her as an object of worship.

Good to see that didn't happen though. Superstitions are really powerful there.

vgss		2007-12-15 03:20:04 PM

Wait until the quaint villagers find out an incarnation of one of their invisible sky people was mutilated.

I see "excitement parades" in this town's future.

Well, the parents are since they NAMED THE GIRL AFTER A MULTI-ARMED GODDESS!

Actually weird crap like this is good evidence for evolution.

I would go with octopus girl or squidward over spiderkid.

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT google "octopussy"

The_Religious_Left:

Why kill it off before we can determine if it's superior? That's what I meant.

Jaggers		2007-12-15 03:52:25 PM

I would at least keep the extra set of arms.

libbyshome		2007-12-15 03:54:07 PM

May I be the first to say I wish her well.

Sorry, nothing but movie reviews- what did I miss?

I'm sure the members of Homo Erectus wish they'd killed the first Homo Sapien. Homo Spaien probably looked pretty harmless too. A big fragile skull, what good is that? I would expect any intelligent species to try and resist a large drastic evolutionary step like that.

whyworry		2007-12-15 04:01:09 PM

Excuse me, but...FTA "My daughter is going to lead a normal life." Looking at the pictures, the xray, and the 3-D mock-up, it seems to me that she is missing some parts before the operation.

Extra arms, check.
Extra legs, check.
Extra spine, check.
Any semblance of normal human plumbing?
Where's her Vishnu now?

JimJones		2007-12-15 04:02:47 PM

Waat de Fah-heck!?!

Chamander		2007-12-15 04:06:53 PM

Doesn't it seem weird that the other her has no sign of a head? Did they cut it off already?

And I LOVE that they've painted ALL of her toenails.

Dirtydan		2007-12-15 04:09:28 PM

Why do the really freakish birth defects always happen in India?

If you turn off the "Safe Search" option in your Google Images, life gets way more interesting...and much less safe for work.

motherbuster		2007-12-15 04:11:30 PM

Hey, earlier there was a picture of the kid in here. Where the hell did it go?

Hydra		2007-12-15 04:16:09 PM

Yeah, why was my post deleted? Was it against the rules or something? I got it off a Sun article; nothing NSFW about it as far as I can tell....

whyworry		2007-12-15 04:18:24 PM

motherbuster: Hey, earlier there was a picture of the kid in here. Where the hell did it go?

Your best bet would be to follow Megain's link that was posted near the top of this thread. Good link and possibly NSFW.

My first guest is they the Mods determined it to be in violation of the rule: "Don't post graphic images or links to graphic content."

Graphic is in the eye of the beholder. Some Mods are beholderer than others.

JimJones		2007-12-15 04:24:51 PM

Iz good joo haf no picture now.
I can finish my chalupa.

I'll bet you click on RugbyJock's links too, don't you? There's just something about the shock factor that you can get from looking at stuff on the internet that you would never ever see otherwise. Also explains the popularity of 2girls1cup and other viral links that have made the circuit.

libbyshome: May I be the first to say I wish her well.

You're not the first, not even in this thread. Nice smug attitude.

Dirtydan: Why do the really freakish birth defects always happen in India?

Probably because of the ridiculous levels of pollution. Read up on the Ganges.

libbyshome: May I be the first to say I wish her well.

No you may not.

Everytime someones says that, I don't listen. When will I learn?

lol nah, I restrict my curiosity to GIS, that way things are thumbnailed, and less scarring.

Well, if that's the case, here's a link (new window; potentially graphic?) to an article with a couple pictures of squid-kid herself.
