And here (below) is an unusual baby, born last year in China. His third extremity is extremely rare, and even more rare is the fact that it is functional. I wish I had grown up with a friend so distinctive! As a child, I always found myself curious about, and drawn to, the odder-looking people I knew. I mean, attractive, plain and even homely-looking people are a common sight. WEIRD-looking folks are not. (Well, maybe more common now than when I was growing up, but still not real common. Although I did know a guy who claimed to have a third testicle!):
