Doctors at a hospital in Anajas delivered Maria de Nazare's baby boy - weighing him in at 9.9Ibs and completely healthy, but noticed the boy had two heads.

Ms Nazare, a 25-year-old from a rural area in Para, did not receive an ultrasound during her pregnancy, resulting in doctors having to run a series of tests on the newborn once they discovered its abnormalities.

The results of the test showed the baby, named Emanoel and Jesus, had two spines but shared the same heart, lungs, liver and pelvis.

'When doctors scanned her they realised the baby had two heads and that a normal birth would be a great risk both for mother and baby,' hospital director Claudionor Assis de Vasconcelos told Brazil's O Povo newspaper.

'The caesarean took an hour because the baby was sitting down.

'Despite all the problems we have as a small interior hospital we managed to save both mother and baby, which was our aim. And for us it was a great surprise to find out that the child was in really good health.'

Emanoel and Jesus are conjoined twins with the condition dicephalic parapagus - a deformity that sees twins share one body, as opposed to being two different bodies conjoined at a specific point.

Ms Nazare showed no sign of disappointment at the child's condition, as she continued to feed both heads and care for the child.

Mother and son were flown off to a specialist hospital in the state capital of Belem for further medical tests.

In 2010 Sueli Ferreira was the first woman in Brazil to gave birth to a two-headed baby. Unfortunately the child didn't survive due to a lack of oxygen to one of the heads.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
