The weirdest things ever found inside the human body

Twin - An Indian man named Sanju Bhagat made headlines around the world in 1999. The farmer had been living with a distended belly for most of his life and looked like he was heavily pregnant. As he grew older his stomach began to bulge even more and it became difficult to breath. One day, when he was in his thirties, he collapsed and was rushed to hospital. Doctors suspected he had an abdominal tumor, but what they found instead shocked them. The bulge in Bhagat's abdomen was in fact his twin brother, whose mutated body was absorbed in the uterus.
