harlequin fetus
harlequin fetus (ichthyosis fetalis) is truly hideous.
Harlequin Type Ichthyosis is a rare genetic skin disorder characterized by massive, thick skin plates that usually produce distorted facial features and often deformities in other parts of the body. At birth the chest and abdomen of patients are usually severely constricted. This makes breathing and eating difficult. The skin symptoms can be somewhat controlled with treatment. [webmd]

You know, I heard about this a while ago and googled some pictures. I really strongly recommend you don't do that. I get really nauseous every time I think about it. It really was one of the worst things I've ever seen. I wish I was kidding.

i hand't even looked at the picture, but of course after morgan told me not to i had to, now it's burned in my retinas forever!!! also, i have your zippo, we found it in the yard. i promise i'm only spanking it when it misbehaves, don't believe any of its "sheri abuses me" stories when you get it back.

I agree with your sister, husband - you have a twisted mind and yet I just had to look too - quite vile.
