YJ is probably saying "what the h*ll now" lol

Did anyone watch Oprah today?
She had on a mother whom was pregnat with twins in Egypt. She delivered the first baby fine. The second would not come out, so they did a c-section. Come to find out the other baby had a extra head attached.
They both had thier own brains. Therefore the baby was able to blink its eyes, yawn and suck on a pacifier. It fed off of the other baby which was starving it of all its needs.
A team of neuro surgeons from Cairo studied and detached the heads.
Of course the baby with just the head passed. But the other baby lived and is healthy.

They also showed clips of the surgery.
The surgery itself took 7 hrs.

no the first baby came out fine. the 2nd baby had the other head attached. They were actually identical triplets. the 3rd baby never fully devolped and was attached to the 2nd baby.
