    Hey baby why do we have such a soul mate connection?

    Because she had a pulse.

    Oh yes, that would be rare. Maybe they're both O+?

    They may not be identical: I have nephews that are twins and you'd never know they were even related.

    Coincidence: I've met a few people who were born on the same day (and year). Means nothing.

    Now this is the real question given that the others you ask (bar one or two) begin to evoke a pattern. But there may have been many reasons that it didn't click not least of which might have been that one or both did not know they were adopted or, as above, they were not identical (I'm willing to bet that this is the case). Or that even if they knew they were adopted they were unable to determine parentage or the existence of siblings. It's actually quite a sad case.

    You would win that bet because since they have different genders they cannot be identical twins. Only fraternal twins can be different genders. :doh:

      Repost :) but then, the story isn't exactly unique either Here are a couple of links that might explain the attraction: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_sexual_attraction[^] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imprinting_(psychology)#Westermarck_effect[^]

      Cheers, Vikram.

        They will probably continue the relationship.

        Word, write letters and sh*t yo. It takes 46 muscles to frown but only 4 to flip 'em the bird. Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings. The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do. Everyone needs believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer.

            …and the gross part is the baby that comes out. X| Inbreeding is likely to produce defective babies. The funny thing is, looking at Wikipedia, it says that inbreeding for a lot of generations will get rid of a lot of bad genes (through natural selection when the defective ones die and the viable ones live) making incest a less risky practice further down the family tree. Of course, it'll get rid of a lot of genetic diversity as well.

It does beg the question of only fraternal twins being capable of being different genders and you are rignt that the statement is false because under abnormal circumstances mono-zygotic twins can be of different genders.

                            That was my first clue. :-D I was just being lazy, not wanting to re-read the article, so I stated it as a suspicion lest the more pedantic1 amongst us call me out for not having statistics to back up my assertion. 1. Meaning more pedantic than I am. :~

                                    That sounds healthy. It's well known amongst the medical community that sleep is actually bad for you, not the other way around, which can be a little confusing with all those people appearing to die of sleep deprivation.

                                      Food is food. I need calories, I prefer to eat high calorie foods so I don't have to eat as often. A can of mixed nuts has about 1700 calories and cost around 3 bucks or so. I could buy a bunch of tofoo and leafs for 20 bucks and still wouldn't get anything out of it.

                                        I may not be a nutritionist, but I don't think you can live off mixed nuts.

                                          Yeah you can. You could live off nothing but rice if you had to.
