as im writing this, this story just passed on the circuit on my local news station. an 8 armed child was born in india. this child was said to be an incarnation of lakshmi(a hindu god). apparently the other arms are part of a sort of conjoined twin that doesnt have any sort of awareness. its a "living" thing but is more like a parasite than a human. this child underwent surgery and had the parasite removed and now is doing just fine.
