And you thought the NY Post had cornered the market on bizarre stories?

From the New York Times:

An article on Wednesday about the phrase "Collyers' Mansion," used to refer to a dangerously cluttered dwelling, misstated the authenticity of an artifact found in the Collyer brothers' Harlem brownstone, the jam-packed building that spawned the term now often used by firefighters. Although some of the artifacts recovered, like musical instruments, were determined to be fakes, a two-headed baby in a jar of formaldehyde found in the house was actually real. (Go to Article)

I don't know what is weirder--a real two-headed baby or the idea that someone could create a fake one?
