from Dlisted The Sheriff's department of Collier County, FL have put out a bulletin warning parents of a new drug that the kids are favoring. It's called "Jenkem" and is supposed to give you hallucinations and get you high. As with any drugs, there's a strong price you pay. Jenkem tastes like shit. Literally! You see Jenkem is made out of shit and piss from the sewers. Kids put the shit in a bottle and let it ferment for a few days. It develop a gas which they put in a balloon and inhale. The after taste is said to linger for daaayyys. The street name is butthash, runners or wase. I know what I'm doing tonight! Shit, I know what Britney's doing tonight too. Kids these days! They can't just suck the freon out of the a/c like we used to. Ugh. |

Its the Goddess Laxmi.She is the possessor of great beauty and is depicted in standing as well as in the seated postures. She is however always seen on a lotus. In her hands she holds two lotuses. In the avatarams of Lord Vishnu, Lakshmi also took various forms to accompany him - Sita with Rama, Rukmini with Krishna. Her four hands signify her power to grand the four Purusharthas (ends of human life), Dharma (righteousness), Artha (wealth), Kama (pleasures of the flesh) and Moksa (freedom). Ashta Lakshmi are her eight forms which are the commonly worshipped aspects. In each form, she bestows one form of wealth to her devotees. There are not as many temples for Lakshmi as for Sakthi (Parvathi), she is however worshipped in temples, more so in the north of India. There are numerous poojas and festivals which are performed to invoke her blessings. Lakshmi is commonly represented as Vishnu's wife. Lakshmi is widely represented as the goddess of wealth. Being, the power and consort of Vishnu, the preserver, she is represented as the power of multiplicity and the goddess of fortune. Lakshmi is usually described as enchantingly beautiful and standing on a lotus and holding a lotus in each of her two hands. It is because of this perhaps that she is named as Padma or Kamala. She is also adorned with a lotus garland. Very often elephants are shown on either side, emptying pitchers of water over her, the pitchers being held by celestial maidens. Her color is variously described as dark, pink, golden yellow or white. While in the company of Vishnu, she is shown with two hands only. When worshipped in a temple, she is shown seated on a lotus throne, with four hands holding Padma (lotus) Sankha (conch) Amrtakalasa ( a pot of ambrosia) and Bilva fruit. If Lakshmi is pictured as dark in complexion, it is to show that she is the consort of Vishnu, the dark god. If golden yellow, that shows her as the source of all wealth. If white, she represents the purest form of prakti (nature) form which the Universe had developed. The pinkish complexion which is more common, reflects her compassion for creatures, since she is is the mother of all. |

8-limbed girl has successful surgery By GAVIN RABINOWITZ, Associated Press Writer 2 hours, 14 minutes ago BANGALORE, India - Doctors in southern India completed a grueling 24-hour operation Wednesday on a girl born with four arms and four legs that surgeons said will give the 2-year-old a chance at a normal life. ADVERTISEMENT The surgery went "wonderfully well," said Dr. Sharan Patil, who led a team of more than 30 surgeons in performing the marathon procedure to remove Lakshmi's extra limbs, salvage her organs and rebuild her pelvis area. "This girl can now lead as good a life as anyone else," Patil said from a hospital in the southern Indian city of Bangalore. Lakshmi, who has been revered by some in her village as the reincarnation of a Hindu goddess, was born joined at the pelvis to a "parasitic twin" that stopped developing in her mother's womb. The surviving fetus absorbed the limbs, kidneys and other body parts of the undeveloped fetus. "This is a very rare occurrence," said Dr. Doug Miniati a pediatric surgeon at the University of California, San Francisco, who was not involved in the surgery. Miniati said the surgery was extremely complicated but her chances of survival were greater because she was not joined at the heart or brain. The doctors worked through the night to remove the extra limbs and organs. By midnight, a team of neurologists had separated the fused spines while orthopedic surgeons removed most of the "parasite," carefully identifying which organs and internal structures belonged to the girl, said Patil. Then began the difficult job of reconstructing Lakshmi's lower body. The operation included transplanting a good kidney into Lakshmi from the twin. The team also used tissue from the twin to help rebuild the pelvic area, one of the most complicated parts of the surgery, Patil said. "Beyond our expectations, the reconstruction worked wonderfully well," Patil said. "We were able to bring the pelvic bones together successfully, which takes away the need for another procedure," he said. However, she will have to have further treatments and possible surgery for clubbed feet before she would be able to walk, he said. Lakshmi's parents, who were expected to see their daughter later Wednesday, said they were very relieved. "It will be great to see our daughter have a normal body," her father Shambhu, who only goes by one name, told reporters. "We were worried for her future." Children born with deformities in deeply traditional rural parts of India, like the remote village in the northern state of Bihar that Lakshmi hails from, are often viewed as reincarnated gods. The young girl is no different — she is named after the four-armed Hindu goddess of wealth. Others sought to make money from Lakshmi. Her parents kept her in hiding after a circus apparently tried to buy the girl, they said. Her mother, who is currently pregnant with a healthy fetus, was "overwhelmed," Patil said. Doctors at Sparsh Hospital in Bangalore said they were performing the surgery, which they estimated cost $625,000, for free because the girl's family could not afford the medical bills. "We are very grateful to all the doctors for seeing our plight and deciding to help us," Shambhu said. Doctors at the hospital have said that Lakshmi was popular among staff and patients. "She's a very cute girl," hospital spokeswoman Dr. Patil Mamatha said. "She's very playful and gets along well with others." So nice to hear that the surgery went well and that the doctors did it for free! |

Stephen King's The Dark Half involves a man who absorbed his fetus twin in the womb and they found pieces of it in his skull as a kid! But later on the man developed an alter ego which came to life and started killing and it was his twin! |
