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.

In the midst of a Toronto neighborhood rests a 13-1/2 foot bronze and granite monument depicting Alexander Wood, famous for both owning the land on which the community now sits, and for being run out of town due to sexual scandal in the early 1800s. The statue of a hero in Toronto's gay community is the cause of concern both for the actions of the man it depicts and for the somewhat graphic description of the 19th-Century sex scandal that made him famous.
