Have you seen the photos of one-month-old Lali Singh, the baby girl born with two faces? (Here is a slideshow of baby Lali, from Yahoo Health in case you haven’t).
Isn’t this the most unusual thing? I hate to say that anomalies such as Siamese twins are status quo these days, but truly, we’ve seen plenty […]
