Doctors said Friday a Peruvian woman has given birth to a boy they have dubbed the "lobster baby" because of a rare condition known as arthrogryposis, or curvature of the joints, in which his arms and legs are deformed and wrapped around his body, like claws. Moises Chavez is one of the only babies worldwide born with all four limbs affected. The one-month-old was born in Peru's central Andes and brought to Lima this week.

Stowers returned to the store to complain half an hour later and refused to return the digit, destroying all hopes for reattachment.
