POPSThe 7 Most Bizarrely Unlucky People Who Ever Lived (Warning: language) We're not saying these are the unluckiest people in history; we realize the world is full of starving children and cancer victims. But sometimes you see people who have weird, one-in-a-million instances of bad luck, often over and over again, and you can't help but wonder if they didn't piss off a Gypsy at some point.

POPSThe Man With Two Brains (as the ladies would have it) continues: Dos Santos’ actual third leg dangled from his lower spine via a thin portion of tissue and was bereft of the powers of sensation and movement. The general consensus was that this functionless appendage should be amputated due to concerns about its lack of circulation and vitality – though Santos simply strapped the limb to his thigh in a special sling so that he could remain active and ride horses. However, it was not Santos’ dead leg that excited the medical men of the time but his two rather more vital functioning penises and three scrota – the outer two of which each contained a solitary testis. The exhaustive examinations Santos received throughout his life confirmed that he could not only urinate but also achieve erections with both of his members simultaneously.
