Twins with different skin colors — one black and the other white — have been born in Berlin, Germany. The twin boys, named Ryan and Leo, are the offspring of a mixed-race couple

Your the one who said there is no such as identical, right? Maybe I clicked on the wrong post. Of course I’ve never seen identical twins who looked completely alike.

When the two twins grow up, only one of them can use “the n-word.”

LOL! ... LOL! ... LOL! ... LOL! ... LOL!

[Does so]

There is no such thing as identical.

You will have different fingerprints, palmprints, footprints and, likely, many other differences.

Isn’t it also possible that the mother had sex with different sperm donors within days of conception?

Imagine at one time that was considered shameful ???

There was a story on some show that was exactly that scenario. I think it was in U.K. The twins were tested for some disease and found to be different DNA, the nanny state thought she had stolen one of the kids.

We had identical twins playing on our cricket team in my home town.

Unlike baseball, in cricket two batsmen are at bat at the same time.

These two used to get up to all kinds of tricks in friendly games.

Luckily for me, as the team scorer, we had prearranged signals to let me know who was who.

My identical twin grand father and his brother
married my identical twin grand mother and her sister
at a double ceremony. I've been told all my life
that it was the most photographed wedding in
Kingston New York in 1923. Of course I've not
seen any pictures in years, so I cant post them
as proof to my claim.

Dang, I sure could have composed that one a little better

DOH

It’s OK, I knew what you mean. That’s really neat! Too bad you don’t have any photos.

Interesting. CSI had a show about a killer who was
a Chimara. It’s the first time I’d heard the word.

Mom’s first thought: Scheisse, I almost got away with it.

[mikrofon]

Next thing you’ll tell us is that your Mom and Aunt look like Patty Duke ;)

[DCPatriot]

That’s exactly the scenario to which I was referring.

Recalled reading about it.

Thanks for the extra info. I was curious about that episode of CSI.

[rabidralph]

Oh, I thought you meant this.

Since the egg split after my brother and I were we were conceived, I find it difficult to understand how our chromosomes changed.

It all depends on who is the good twin who is the evil twin. ;-)

Is it possible for a woman to conceive twice within the same day?

Same situation with my Great Grandfather and his brother and my Great Grandmother and her sister. We have family reunions every few summers, and I have a T-shirt that someone made for one of them that shows all four of them in a picture.

[CharlieOK1]

I’ve got the same situation. I’ll see if there is any way to get a digital copy of the picture...

Stop being an idiot. You’re not going to win this one, as you shouldn’t, so quit trying.
