Chinese Grandma Grows Devil Horns
Posted in on January 10, 2011
Like something out of a horror movie or carnival show, Zhang Ruifang is growing horns out of her forehead. Zhang is a 101 year old Chinese grandmother who began noticing the growths in 2009. The horn on the left side is about 6cm in length, and the one on the right is just starting to develop.
According to news reports: "The growths are likely to be 'cutaneous horns' - growths made of keratin, the same substance that makes up fingernails. Although most cutaneous horns are only a few millimetres in length, some can extend a number of inches from the skin."


Apparently, growing horns isn't as rare as you might think (and hope).
