Toddler with eight limbs branded 'reincarnation of Hindu god' to undergo life-saving operation
A toddler born with eight limbs and believed by some to be the reincarnation of the multi-limbed Hindu goddess Vishnu, is set to undergo a 40-hour operation to remove half of her limbs.

Lakshmi Tatma was born joined to a 'parasitic twin' and will go under the knife at the hands of 30 surgeons to remove two of her useless arms and legs.

2. This is certainly more convincing than an oil stain of the virgin mary on an overpass.
Not that I buy into that religion stuff.

3. It's not convincing of anything other than the existence of evil twins.
Headless, no less.
