    sacomm.com/barahack.htm Link is dead. None of the captures archived at the Wayback Machine contain any content other than offering the domain for sale. I thought we had a "creepy Connecticut" thread on here but guess not. Has anyone else heard of this? Any eastern US FTMBers who've been...

    Body Oddities: Multiple Sets Of Genitalia

    There have been cases of men being born with two penises...saw that on a site not too long ago.
