Afrikan Boy showed off the first photo of M.I.A.’s newborn baby who was born on Wednesday, February 11, 2009.

As many of you know, M.I.A. recently performed on her scheduled due date while pregnant at the Grammy Awards. Her next scheduled performance is supposed to be on February 22, 2009 at the Oscars (81st Academy Awards) and word is that the organizers are so keen on having her perform “O Saya” (from Slumdog Millionaire) that they are even willing to beam her in from her bed via satellite or have her perform as a hologram. Seriously.

Newborn baby had fully-formed limbs inside his brain

Sorry for the somewhat gruesome image, but I just found this news story incredibly amazing. Apparrently two and a half months ago, the parents of newborn Sam Esquibel had to subject their 3-day-old baby to surgery to remove what was then believed to be a brain tumor. When doctors looked inside his brain, they found 2 fully formed feet, a hand, and a thigh!

Incredibly, the baby lived past the surgery and is now doing quite well with the help of physical therapy sessions to regain the use of muscles in the neck.

But wow, look at that image! A foot inside the brain!
