Mistakes happen. Most of the time in people it's an appendix in an odd spot (there are a LOT of appendix oddities!), or an extra finger or the like. But when something goes odd with an embryo, there is almost no way to say which way it will go wrong. This one is, shall we say "out there" but only because of the degree of "oddness", not the oddness itself.

I used to know a girl who had three kidneys. They removed one, but it just grew back.

Pseudomamma almost always occurs in the same general area as the normal breast. It's not at all uncommon for a woman to find out that "mole" under her arm is a working nipple when she has a baby. Now on the foot...that's VERY unusual!

I have spent a fair amount of time on ambulances and in hospitals and I have a hard time believing that this happens "often." Oh well, must be something in the water...

unusual = erotic?
absolutely not, but the joke had to be made.

She'd be sorted for funds then! Just sell one on the black market every time it regrows

What the nerd community most often fail to realize is that all features aren't equal. A well implemented and well integrated feature in a convenient interface is worth way more than the same feature implemented crappy, or accessed through a annoying interface.

since you brought it up it does raise an interesting legal question. the laws against selling organs in the united states are against selling things that don't regrow (which is why you can sell blood and sperm but not kidneys). perhaps should would be allowed to sell her organ in this case.

I think most (all?) internal organs have the potential to regenerate. I'm not a bio guy though, so I have nothing to back that up.

Let's play...find the grammatical error in the news article!!
Can't they at least catch blatant errors in a newspaper?
Also: good story. Pretty crazy stuff, that is.
