For the past year, a horn resembling a goat's has been growing on the forehead of Chinese grandmother, age 101. It is now 2.4 inches in length. It appears to be a cutaneous horn, which are made up of compacted keratin, the same protein that's in our hair and nails, and forms horns, wool, and feathers in animals. Another horn appears to be emerging from the other side of her forehead.

Poor thing.  You just know Weekly World News is going to get rich as Cresus running off wild stories about the cause of this poor woman's condition.  Sometimes I despair.
If you want to end your misery, start enjoying it, because there's nothing the universe begrudges more than our enjoyment.

You know, she could get some really cool accessories for that.  No.  Really.  Bows, clip on earrings, scarves, rings.  Serious fashion opportunity.  0:<

She should have it cut off like Hellboy.  >:]
Poor old woman, you know that thing is irritating.
Whack that thing off.
Sounds interesting...Go on.

Brian, how do you find all this cool stuff?  We need to talk websites.  I bow to the new king of Internet gems.

I'm not speaking for Brian, but you just have to read the Anomalist http://www.anomalist.com/.
It's addictive.
Then there's The Daily Grail http://www.dailygrail.com/ .

Debra's correct; just gotta love the Anomalist;D

I'm intrigued by this article, because like the Tree Man, this woman is exhibiting a strange physical deformity that probably inspired our traditional conceptions of "devils" and "monsters". Of course, that depends on the authenticity of the article. It could be nothing more than a load of crap.  :)

Damian... I have been going to coasttocoastam.com for years, mainly since I listened to Art Bell several years ago.  The website is hit and miss with good articles, but check it out!!

Sweet!  Thanks gang; looks like I've got some reading to do.   :D

Brian...that was the first thing that came to my mind.  Karl's comment was the second.  Poor thing.....

Then again!  She may like it!  She may let her grandkids swing off of it, and she may even be the Grand Marshall of the next holiday parade over there!  ;)

Every rose has it's thorn. ;D

Call me when she starts growing hooves!   >:]

She looks like she's a pretty chillin' old lady... 101 and still kicking!
