It's true about her what Daria was sayin in "Fair Enough".

Once again from "2201 Fascinating Facts"..

"Anne Bloeyn, one of the two unfortunate wives of Henery VIII sent to die in the tower of London, had six toes on one foot, six fingers on one hand, and three breasts. In medical terminology the condition of having more than two breasts is known as polymazia."

Just thought you'd enjoy that.
