It originally aired on [[June 3]], [[1998]]. ==Plot== After being made fun of by the boys, Pip, for once, shows his anger and hits [[Kyle Broflovski]] with a ball during dodgeball. Kyle is sent to [[List of staff at South Park Elementary#Nurse Gollum|Nurse Gollum]], the South Park Elementary [[nurse]]. Kyle is horrified to discover, however, that she has a dead [[fetus]] attached to her head, due to a (fictional) condition called "[[Conjoined twins|Conjoined Twin]] Myslexia." Kyle tells the others. Upon hearing about this and the boys making fun of her, Kyle's mom Sheila sits the boys down and informs them about Nurse Gollum's condition: when a set of twins forms in the womb but one dies. She tells them that sometimes the dead twin is inside the live one, (a real disorder called [[Fetus in Fetu]]) so each one of the boys might actually have a dead twin that they don't know about. This horrifies the children, including Stan who runs home and attempts to split his head open with an [[icepick]], saying "I have to get it out". An irate Sharon Marsh calls Sheila on the phone, questions her and tells her angrily "the next time you want to scare the hell out of my son, go and sit in the road until a truck runs you over instead." Sheila, who, in order to remedy the unawareness apparent in people of Conjoined Twin Myslexia, decides to help the woman, and winds up causing a "Conjoined Twin Myslexia Week" declared in South Park for its sole sufferer. Meanwhile, the school [[dodgeball]] team becomes eligible for competitions, and goes on to fight the State Competition in [[Denver, Colorado|Denver]]. In the match, Denver is expected to win because they always beat South park. South Park ends up winning because [[List of students at South Park Elementary#Philip "Pip" Pirrip|Pip]], the [[Great Britain|British]] exchange student, becomes filled with rage whenever kids incorrectly call him "French", giving him the strength to take down the other team. The team take advantage of this anger as a result. In the National competition, the Washington, D.C. team forfeits because of their fear of the inevitable international opponent, China. In China, South Park discovers the Chinese kids to be unstoppable, and the team is crushed until only Pip remains. Pip, however, manages to win when Kevin tricks the Chinese into calling him French; he single-handedly annihilates the entire Chinese team with one throw, but by this point everyone has decided they don't want to play dodgeball anyway and he gets no credit for it. Back home, the townspeople have donned hats that make them appear to have fetuses on their heads and also read "Go Cows" (the dodgeball team), held a [[parade]] for Nurse Gollum, and videotaped her constantly. She angrily declares that she does not want any extra attention or special treatment, and that by doing so they make her feel singled out. She says she only wants to be harassed and ridiculed just like everybody else in the town and storms away. Principal Victoria and Sheila declare her "ungrateful", but the kids begin to question if the fetus actually makes her smarter. ==Pop culture references== * Cartman's line "So, Captain Ahab has to get his whale, huh?" is a reference to [[Herman Melville]]'s novel [[Moby-Dick]] as well as a scene in [[Star Trek: First Contact]] that is also referenced later in [[Something You Can Do With Your Finger]]. * In the book that Kyle's mom shows the boys, one of the pictures is a meld of [[Micky Dolenz]] and [[Michael Nesmith]], of [[The Monkees]]. * When Pip throws the ball in his final throw against the Chinese team, the way he spins, throws the ball, then slowly stops spinning, is vaguely reminiscent of the Death Blossom scene in [[The Last Starfighter]]. ==External links== *[http://www.southparkstudios.com/guide/205 Conjoined Fetus Lady] at South Park Studios Episode Guide {{wikiquote}} {{Episode navigation|parent=[[List of South Park episodes|''South Park'' episodes]]|prev=[[Ike's Wee Wee]]|next=[[The Mexican Staring Frog of Southern Sri Lanka]] }} [[Category:South Park episodes: Season 2]] [[Category:Fictional conjoined twins]] [[Category:1998 television episodes]] [[fr:Le Fœtus siamo-maxillaire]] [[hu:A töppedt ikerszarkómás ápolónő]] [[ru:Женщина с приросшим эмбрионом]]
