1. “I have toes sewn onto my hand.”

2. Corectopia, when your pupil is not in the center of your eye.

2. “Did you know: an x-ray of a baby’s hand makes it look like their bones are just kinda floating around in there.”

Our 11-month-old somehow hurt her hand/wrist, and in trying to figure out what was wrong, we got some x-rays. Unfortunately, nothing conclusive came from the scans, but I thought the x-ray itself was mildly interesting.

BONUS: Alice Elizabeth Doherty is a girl, who was born with a rare condition.

Doherty was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with approximately 2-inch-long (5.1 cm) blonde hair all over her body.

Doherty had hypertrichosis lanuginosa. None of her relatives are known to have had a similar condition.

By the time she was 5 years old, her hair grew to about 5 inches (130 mm), eventually increasing to about 9 inches (230 mm) by the time she was a teenager.

Hypertrichosis has many different variations, including differences in causation.
