a man with two faces in one head (a true story)

as my sister and i looked at the pictures that was tagged to her,
we saw a picture of a man with two faces,
we thought that it was just an edited picture
but as we read the description of it
and searched if it is true,
my sister and i are both shocked when we found out that it is really true
his name is EDWARD MORDRAKE
here is picture of him

(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
Edward Mordrake (sometimes written Edward Mordake) was reportedly the 19th century heir to an English peerage. He supposedly had an extra face on the back of his head, which could neither eat nor speak, although it could laugh or cry. Edward begged doctors to have his "demon head" removed, because, supposedly, it whispered horrible things to him at night, but no doctor would attempt it. He committed suicide at the age of 23. The description of Edward Mordrake's condition is somewhat similar to those of Chang Tzu Ping and Pasqual Pinon.

Both Mordrake and PiƱon are featured as the 2 Very Special Cases on a list of 10 People With Extra Limbs or Digits in The Book of Lists edition of 1977 (which also lists "credible" cases of spontaneous combustion and UFO sightings).

Tom Waits wrote a song about Edward Mordrake titled "Poor Edward" for his opera Alice. Waits performs the song on an album with the same name.
