I saw this making the rounds on Facebook, so you know it has to be important:

Quote:(CNN)A hunter tracking down a mountain lion has stumbled upon a biological mystery.

Fish and Game officials say a male mountain lion involved in an attack on a dog near Preston, Idaho, was killed last week near the Utah border.

What the hunter discovered after examining the corpse can only be described as bizarre, even monstrous.

A photo released Thursday by Idaho Fish and Game shows the big cat had another set of fully-formed teeth and whiskers growing out of the top of its head. Wildlife officials say they have never seen a deformity like that -- but have offered up several theories.

They say it's possible the teeth could be the remnants of a conjoined twin that died in the womb and was absorbed into the other fetus. They then grew on their own.

Another explanation is a so-called "teratoma" tumor. This type of abnormality, whose Greek name translates to "monster tumor," can grow teeth and hair. In humans, it can grow fingers and toes.

Mountain lions are common, though rarely seen, in Idaho and can be legally hunted. They usually prey on deer, elk, moose and other wild animals but sometimes attack domesticated pets and livestock.

When I heard about this story and the theory that it could have been a conjoined twin absorbed in utero, I immediately thought of this gem by Stephen King, The Dark Half, which is about a conjoined twin come back to life:



Any good conspiracy theories out there? Or is this story as DOA as the body of this would-be chimera is?

As fascinating as that is, I'm leaning on the first theory as to it being a conjoined twin that died and was absorbed into the living body.

Sometimes these things happen. There are all sorts of abnormalities that happen in nature.

Although I'm always down for a good conspiracy.

I hope it's not just a bad case of conjoined twins and we're on the verge of witnessing the birth of the dreaded Elkion, a creature with both horns and antlers!

Personally, I'm hoping for Manbearpig:

Ten minutes after OP posted the thread, I was already searching for "teratoma".
Great start into a productive day, didn't dare to look at my computer again for a few hours and already got lots of things done.

In the middle of winter you stumble onto the hottest girl you've ever seen.

She comes back to your place and you get her naked.

75% of her body is covered by warts/lesions - a human tree, but she is not contagious. Do you bang?

If her face is normal, I'd at least go for the BJ on the assumption that her bark is worse than her bite.

^ then (open closer inspection) she fails to be the hottest girl you've ever seen, and quite possibly the ugliest/grotesque overall notwithstanding the pretty face that you're no doubt referring to.
