| i found this on dave barry's miami herald page:
" Alert reader Dianne Smith sent in an article from the July 23 issue of the Sandersville (Ga.) Progress. On the front page is the following headline: ''Local woman sues doctor after twig grows on leg.'' The story concerns a Sandersville woman who was treated by an emergency-room doctor for a cut she received on her thigh when ''she fell into some boxwood shrubbery in her yard.'' The story states that nine months later, the woman went to another doctor, and -- I am not making this quote up -- ''he noticed a stem had surfaced on her leg with five thriving green leaves.'' The doctor ''concluded the stem was alive and feasting'' on the woman's leg."
could this be possible???
is this the next big propagation method?

| this story sounds like the spider story! A woman gets a lump on her face and subsequently baby spiders are born! There's a German short story written in 18something along the same lines. It's now called urban myth. Dave Barry is very funny! I like the remark about the doctor and graft! :) |
