I have to say I adored the Mutter Museum and if you can go, I would! It’s so neat! It’s a valuable learning tool!

Whoops, thanks, Tami! It’s in my favorites right under Investopedia, so I must have mixed them up.

Frank Lentini was also a famous dipygus. He had 3 legs, 2 sets of (working) genitals, and an extra foot attached to the knee of his third leg. He worked with the Ringling Bros, Barnum and Bailey, and Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. He led a successful and prosperous life, ultimately attaining the record for the longest living, three legged man.

Not to beat a dead horse, but you REALLY need to watch Freaks. Also, if people are in the Philadelphia area a trip to the Mutter Museum is worthwhile.

There’s also a novel called Geek Love that has been recommended to me, but I haven’t read it yet.

Freaks is a great movie. It is in the public domain and is available on Youtube.
Search for user adelfred on youtube and you’ll find Freaks.

I was expecting a completely different article (Gunther Gebel-Williams was my childhood hero), but I really enjoyed this one nonetheless. Thanks!
