Your Creepy Twin Story of the Day

Doctors in Peru have found a “parasitic twin” in the stomach of a three-year-old boy, and plan to surgically remove the tissue.

Dr Carlos Astocondor of the medical team at Las Mercedes Hospital in the northern port of Chiclayo said the condition occurs in about one of every 500,000 live births.

He said the partially formed foetus weighs a pound and a half and is nine inches long.

Dr Astocondor said the brain, heart, lungs and intestines never developed after the foetus was absorbed by the other foetus inside the mother’s womb.

He said it has some hair on the cranium, eyes and some bones.

The surgery is set to be carried out on Isbac Pacunda today.

Erotic novles pouplar in ebook format.

Sales have soared for erotic literature with the advent of e-readers such as Kobo and Kindle, with one company in British Columbia reaping the benefits.

Tina Haveman, who’s based in Squamish, B.C., north of Vancouver, owns a busy digital erotic publishing company and she says there are a lot of “closet readers” who would never admit to liking that kind of literature.

“Customers are starting to discover them and finding that they can read certain books that they do not want other people to see and in privacy,” Haveman, who runs eXtasy books, told CBC Radio.

The e-publisher notes that sales took off in early 2010 and doubled last year. She expects them to triple in 2012 with a majority of downloaders being female. Xtasy has more than 1,000 titles in its “store” including ones such as the paranormal Dragon’s Pearl, the hybrid fantasy/Victorian Lady Mechtronic and the Steampunk Pirates and the Western-tinged Dead Man’s Diamond.

“Women read a lot more than men. It’s always been that way.”
