Okay, I don't think I am that easily grossed out, but I really was not expecting to see a teratocarcinoma in the middle of my tumblr dash (if you're not sure what that is, CLICK AT YOUR OWN RISK. NO, REALLY.) today.

Jha, ilu & I agree that they are fascinating (in the totally gruesome and horrifying way) but OMG the shriek I had to suppress at work just now. ;;;;;;;;

Yeah, that's like that partial twin that never actually forms that people find stuck in people sometimes.

Freaky...

GAH! I was prepared when I clicked, and I still had to suppress the urge to shriek. I can only imagine how it must have been, coming upon it all innocent and unawares...

It's a damned good thing it hasn't got legs, is all I'm saying. There'd be nightmares for DAYS about it living under my bed or under the bathroom sink.

Back in the day I totally wanted to study those. THEY CAN GROW TEETH. \o/

The teeth ones are awesome, respect. The hair ones are creepy, but that is because hair not on people's heads creeps me out (see my instinctive eeeeew, ew, ew, ew reaction to wigs made out of human hair (it's a thing)).

Somebody in the world probably has a teratocarcinoma lab, right? RATIO OF HORRIFYING TO AMAZING, WHAT'S YOUR BET

PROBABLY. I actually bet that they plate out and dissect most of them, so less horrifying than you would expect. STILL FAIRLY HORRIFYING THOUGH. I also bet they get NIH funding up the wazoo: it's cancer + stem cells, what could be sexier?
