Child with 8 Limbs My friend just walked into the room and said," So, have you seen the kid with 8 legs?"

Obviously, not a typical greeting. Someone had posted the link on her Facebook wall, and within seconds she was showing me a child who was born with a parasitic twin and thus has 8 limbs. Thirty surgeons are going to operate on her. Check it out at http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23419627-details/Toddler+with+eight+limbs+branded+'reincarnation+of+Hindu+god'+to+undergo+life-saving+operation/article.do.

Some say Facebook is stupid, but so much information would not be nearly as accessible to my college-age generation without it. For everything from projects to parties, we message each other. Links to videos, articles, shows, etc. can easily be posted on people's walls. There is no way I'd be aware of most people's birthdays without it. Through it, I can reconnect with friends I haven't seen in years.

And I wouldn't have known anything about the child with 8 limbs who is said to be a reincarnated Hindu goddess. Pretty cool.  ¶ posted by Claire at 11:43 PM •
