In Greek mythology, the Chimera was an awesome fire-breathing monster with the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and the tail of a serpent. The Chimera was killed by the hero Bellerophon mounted, in most versions of the tale, on Pegasus, the winged horse.

I was wrong. That corpse that was mistaken for artwork for several days was not the most "Just Damn" article I've ever read. This is.

What I would like to know,is, how do the 'intelligent design' people explain anomolies like this?

WHEREAS I believe God "Intelligently designed" the entire universe all the way down to the ways that 'matter' interacts on an atomic and subatomic level (and at some point instilled within man an immortal soul making him most profoundly different than animals on that level) -

- the 'intelligent design' folks, per se, seem to contend that nature somehow obeys a different and most obscure set of physical laws when dealing *only* with the flesh (corporal level) of man ...

Oops, my bad....in her case it is the head of a serpent, body of a goat and tail of a lion... what do they call that "mythology"????

I heard this on the radio Friday, and was dumbfounded. When I told my mom, she thought I was looney.

I'm glad to see I wasn't completely out of my head hearing this.

Uh, the article did say this was a woman?

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

This is more than bizarre. The other explanation is that the babies were switched at the hospital.

[rimtop56]

This case and another similar one are described in fascinating detail in a special called "I Am My Own Twin," which has aired several times on the health channel.

I saw a TV special about this.
Those DNA tests that are clearing convicted criminals should be done more carefully.

Cue the "Twilight Zone" theme music!

OK, my sister in law works in a neo natal ward. She had one woman complain that she didn't even know if the baby was hers. Umm, her response was, did it come out of you? then it's yours.

I'd get banned if I used the language she used to describe the incident.

So one day we'll have winged horses, mermaids, minotaurs and centaurs? :)

One can only hope

The aliens abducted her and impregnated her with zygotes of the super race. It's plain as the nose on your face.
