Sorry TMC, this isn't porn or anything like it (unless you're into some [I]really[/I] weird stuff) but that's all I'll say...

Re: Meet the Hensel Twins
 

Thats kinda crazy, some of the comments under the video are harshhh lol

Re: Meet the Hensel Twins
 

aaaahhhhhhhhH

Re: Meet the Hensel Twins
 

I didn't read the comments, but I can imagine. That stuff about figuring out how to grades their tests and stuff was crazy, I would have never even thought about it.

Re: Meet the Hensel Twins
 

That is CRAZY!

Re: Meet the Hensel Twins
 

i saw the entire show on the learning channel the other week. very interesting.

Re: Meet the Hensel Twins
 

I think that is real cool.

I also never considered the part about testing. One is better at math and the other is better at literature. That's cool. "You take the math test, and I'll take the literature test." Sweet.

Re: Meet the Hensel Twins
 

Talk about amazing.

Re: Meet the Hensel Twins
 

Man, I can't wait until they're legal.

KEEDING!

Re: Meet the Hensel Twins
 

I'm speechless!

I saw the same show and would recomend if others have the Lerning channel to look it up and see when its playing again (the channel tends to repeat stuff for a month or so). I thought it was cool how they could think together and drive a car. They both had to pass the written test and then work together to pass the driving portion. I like the questions that where raised like. If they get pulled for speeding who would get the ticket? I could see a cop trying to figure that one out.

Re: Meet the Hensel Twins
 

I have like amillion questions for them. Who eats? I guess they have one stomach. then sleeping what if yo uare not tierd?

If you have the learning Ch. check if its on again they answer allot of those questions. It is cool how they each control half of the body but they move and do things as one mind. They where somewhere and just all of a sudden started to clap at the same time. That might sound easy to us but for them both had the same idea at the same time and started clapping as we would.

Re: Meet the Hensel Twins
 

Something else really crazy and bizzare is chimerism. (see [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lydia_Fairchild]Lydia Fairchild - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url]) It's when two seperate fertilized eggs join together (basically two seperate maternal twins fusing together to form one person)...

These people have been known to have two sets of D.N.A. and as someone born and raised pro-life it was hard to come to terms with this, and has raised some serious questions when thinking about humans in the early stages.

I always felt life started at conception... So when two seperately conceived fetus' join together to form one person... is that two people? Makes my head spin sometimes. There's so much ambiguity out there it drives me insane.

That's what I was thinking.

I must say they seem very well adjusted to living that way. My only question is who controls there legs? Does one control the right and the other the left? It would seem that it would be hard to walk no to mention run.
Also if one eats pizza. Do they both get heart burn? What is there anatomy like?

Thats what was so cool on that show about them. One controls one side of the body and the other one controls the other. They play on a girls baseball team and they can think together to hit a ball and run the bases. They drive this way, clap without even talking about it they just seem to know when the other is going to clap. Its strange how well they work together. They could get in a fight and hit each other. One thing for sure it would suck if they hated each other.

Re: Meet the Hensel Twins
 

I was just going to say how much would it suck to get in an argument with the other one?! There's no way to get away!

Pretty interesting to see what organs they have and share:

[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abigail_and_Brittany_Hensel]Abigail and Brittany Hensel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url]

Common organs
Most of Abigail and Brittany's shared organs lie below the waist line.

2 heads
2 arms -- originally 3, but the short malformed central arm was removed
2 spinal cords and backbones which merge at the pelvis -- surgery corrected scoliosis
3½ lungs -- surgery expanded their chest cavity
2 breasts
2 hearts in a shared circulatory system -- medicine taken by either affects both
1 liver
2 stomachs
3 kidneys
2 gallbladders
1 bladder
1 ribcage
1 large intestine
1 female reproductive system

Two for ones suddenly has a whole new meaning

Re: Meet the Hensel Twins
 

There's another joke I could have made, but I wanted to take the "high road". :biggthump

Re: Meet the Hensel Twins
 

I'll tell you the punch line though:

"Just ONE?! :("
