Remember all those riddles on twins?
Such as two brothers were born on the same day, same time, to the same mom. but last year when one turned twenty, the other was twenty two?
and you got it right easily and said - ah! the other was twenty too

Well, you are now wrong
Because the riddle has now become a general knowledge question.

An American couple recently used embryos stored in Mumbai to have a child three years after the first, producing two children with the same genetic material, but born four years apart.

How?
Using in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) techniques sometimes creates more than one usable embryo. Prospective parents can use one right away, and instead of discarding the rest (as is generally done), freeze them for future use. The result? Same genetics, same-time conception, but different birth dates.

So next time someone asks twin riddles, feel free to give a long intellectual answer instead of tacky replies such as "Oh, they must be triplets, not twins!"

Who's crazy?

People want to be taller
People want to be smaller
People want to have 'the works' to be Casanovas

That's not crazy

But if such people allow themselves to be tied them with weights and then hung up like clothes to be stretched out - they have got to be deranged!

An Israeli court has ordered Simon Sofer to two years in prison for giving such "treatment". The news report (read here) mentions how People who sought to become taller were suspended from the air by their arms and legs, or had their bodies stretched with weights.

This is what the court transcript, quoting a witness in the trial, says:
"Only a lunatic could take a person who has not been checked (by a doctor) and hang him upside down."

Bingo. Only a lunatic could do this.
What's more - only a lunatic could allow himself to be done so.

I think all the 'victims' should be sent for psyciatric sessions as well.
