Well, I'm not that impressed assuming they are fraternal twins. Two eggs, two sperms

If they are from the same egg, split into twins of different color, I'd be mighty impressed.

There is actually a women on this seasons "Big Brother 10" that has 4 month old twins that were also born one white, and one black. Her name is Libra, she is a black woman from Texas married to a white man. She is a big Obama fan, so I hate her already (HA HA).

I do question the morality of a woman that could even fathom leaving 4 month old infants, and a slightly older child alone for more than 2 months to be on a reality show?

A single fertilized egg split after conception aren't identical twins?

I saw that happen in the UK. Two girls. Both the mother and father were biracial. One girl looked completely black, the other was blonde and white.

I think the identical DNA make it “identical”.

No. Why do you ask?

Since I'm an identical twin, I find it quite a shock my brother and I aren't identical according to you. Do you have any medical sources that confirm that claim ?

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

Just wondering how you came to your conclusion
