I was reading one of my turtle forums yesterday and someone showed a photo of a two headed turtle<\/a>.  This isn’t as rare as you’d think, and from what I gather from the forums these turtles actually live and thrive if they end up in the right hands.<\/p>\n

Anyhow, then someone mentioned how many living things can survive with two heads, and talked about the twins in this video:<\/p>\n

Pretty amazing really.  What is more amazing is that almost everyone I’ve mentioned it to knew about them long before I did…  How did so many people I know know about these girls and not tell me?   They know I love weird stuff like this!<\/p>\n

I watched this video so many times.   I think it’s their coordination that gets me.  Each of them controlling one arm and one leg, and yet their body looks like just one person.   I guess they’ve had 16 years to get it right but still!<\/p>\n

They have two spines that merge at their waist, two hearts that share one circulatory system, four lungs, two stomachs and one reproductive system.  Basically from the waist down they have one of everything.<\/p>\n

I wonder things, I can’t help it!<\/p>\n

Like, when they have to go poo… how do they know?  Are both their brains alerted or does one know and has to tell the other?  Who gets stuck with wiping?<\/p>\n

What happens if one of them falls in love and gets married? He’d be having sex with both of them.  What if they both got married?  Would they all live together in one big happy household?<\/p>\n

It’s the poo thing that sticks with me though.   Maybe it’s because I’m seriously poo-phobic, I don’t know.   I hate going ‘number two’ in public toilets or whenever anyone is in my house (other than hubby), and after almost 7 years of marriage I’d still punch him if he walked in while I was doing it.<\/p>\n

I can’t imagine having another person there, even if we do share an ass.    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
