SEEING DOUBLE
CELL BLOCK REPAIR CENTER
by Sarah Bates
We’re seeing double (and maybe a little more) thisweek as we seek out some titillating Tidbits on some of the world’s rarest and most unique multiple births! Even if you’re a singleton, don’t feel blue - enjoy these twinbits as you expand your brain! • Any set of multiples starts the same way that a singleton birth does: an egg. The difference comes at the time of fertilization from here several things can happen. Identical twins occur when two fetuses develop from one zygote, meaning one fertilized egg splits in two. This is called monozygotic twinning.

• Polyzygotic births occur when multiple fetuses develop from one or more zygotes. You could have three fetuses develop from one zygote, getting rare identical triplets, or three fetuses develop from two zygotes, getting two identical babies and one fraternal, or you could have three fetuses develop from three different zygotes, etc. The list goes on and on.

• There is also such a thing as semi-identical twins, which doctors say is when two sperm fertilize one egg, which then splits into two. However, this is very rare with only one known case so far. • How often do twins occur? Well, since the invention of fertility treatments, the rate has increased dramatically. About 3.21 in every 100 births results in twinning, over a 70% increase since 1980. About 1.5 in every 1,000 births results in multiple births of triples or higher. Monozygotic twins occur in one out of every three twinning instances. turn the page for more!

SEEING DOUBLE (continued) • Some identical twins will not look alike and some fraternal twins will, which doctors and scientists suggest stems from stress in the womb to other outside factors throughout the twins’ lives. Child stars Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen are fraternal twins, though they look strikingly similar. • There is a Nigerian tribe that holds the world’s record for most twin births in one region. Forty-five births in every 1,000 births in the Yoruba tribe results in fraternal twins. Doctors speculate this might have to do with the Yoruba’s diet - they eat a specific type of yam that may cause increased ovulation. • Cryptophasia is the term used to describe twin talk between identical twins. Those who study such things believe that some identical twins form their own language, often made up of mispronounced words and gestures developed as the children learn to talk. While there is not enough scientific evidence to fully prove this, it is believed that children who do use their own language will most likely grow out of it as they enter school and interact with other children. • Twins are often born underweight because they are premature. However, this is not always the case. The heaviest total birth weight recorded of a pair of twins was 27 lbs 12 oz (12.58 kg) and goes to twins Patricia Jane and John Prosser Haskin of Arkansas. Patricia weighed 14 lbs (6.35 kg) at birth and John trailed behind at 13 lbs 12 oz (6.23 kg). They were born on February 20, 1924. • If you’re a twin, and even if you’re not, you might have heard of the annual Twins Days Festival in Twinsburg, Ohio. Twinsburg was originally Millsville and was first settled in 1817 when sixteen year-old Ethan Alling first moved to the area to inspect the land his family had just purchased. Alling would later go on to be the postmaster, hotel proprietor and much more. Two years later, twins Aaron and Moses Wilcox, identical twins from Killingworth, Connecticut, moved to Millsville. They offered to donate the land for the town square and help

found a school if the town was renamed Twinsburg. The twins, who were strikingly identical in more than looks alone, married sisters, had the same number of children and died within hours of each other. • The Twins Days Festival first started in Twinsburg in 1976 with thirty-seven sets of twins in attendance from around the United States. In 1979, the festival welcomed its first sets of international twins with a set from Poland and a set from Lebanon. Twins Days was held at the beginning of last month from August 7-9 and annually has over 2,500 sets of twins in attendance. • Twin brothers John and William Reiff won the International Twins Association’s “Most Identical Twins” award twenty-two times. They left the Twins Days festival, which they annually attended, about $5 million dollars from their estate. Friends say the Twins Days Festival was the highlight of their year and they loved the festival and the people very much. William passed away in 2000 at age seventy, with John following him five years later. • The Ann Landers and “Dear Abby” columns were written by identical twin sisters Esther and Pauline Friedman, who were born in Sioux City, Iowa in 1918. • Like we said before, some identical twins might not look alike and some fraternal twins might look the same, but sometimes twins look different in a way you might not expect. Twins Kian and Remee Hodgson just turned four this past April, but if you didn’t know them, you might not know they were twins. You see, Kian is black and Remee is white. They were born to Kylie Hodgson and Remi Horder of the United Kingdom, who

Rudy (303) 549-7944 or go online: www.JustDetailsCleaningService.com both have white mothers and black fathers. One theory is that black haired, brown eyed Kian inherited all of the black genes from her parents where blond haired, blueeyed Remee received all the white genes. Scientists say the odds of a biracial couple having twins with dramatically different skin tones are 1,000,000:1. • If those chances seem high, take a look at this! Dean Durrant and Alison Spooner of Fleet, Hampshire in the United Kingdom are getting ready to celebrate the first birthdays of their twin daughters Miya and Leah this November. Like the aforementioned twins, Miya is black and Leah is white. While the chances of this happening are, literally, one in a million, what makes them really special is what happened back in 2001. You see, Miya and Leah aren’t Dean and Alison’s first children - they already have two other daughters. Yes, they’re twins, too! Like their baby sisters, seven year old Hayleigh and Lauren don’t look alike. Hayleigh has brown eyes and dark skin like her black father Dean, where Lauren has fair skin and blue eyes like her white mother Alison. The couple claim they weren’t expecting another set of twins - and they certainly weren’t expecting lightning to strike twice. They joked beforehand, though. What if?

FOR WEEK OF September 14, 2009
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) It might not be wise to pursue goals involving others, unless you can stop impulsively rejecting new ideas. Either open your mind or wait until next week, when this “ornery” mood passes. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s a good time for the Bovine to be creative and practical for yourself and your surroundings. Shop wisely, not impulsively, and keep your Bull’s eye focused on quality, not quantity. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You should feel more confident about moving ahead with plans that had to be delayed by an unexpected turn of events. Also, family matters might need more time than first anticipated. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be considerate of others as you move into a new area in your professional life. Take time to meet people and discuss mutual goals. The more you get to know each other, the better. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Creating a fuss could get your ideas noticed quickly. But it would be best to present your case, and then wait for a reaction to follow in due course, rather than try to force it to happen. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Unkept promises might cause plans to go awry this week. You can either grumble about people “letting you down” or find a way to make the best of it and move on. The choice is yours. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Putting off making a commitment early in the week could be a good move. Best to act when you know you’re making an informed decision. Expect more facts to emerge by the week’s end. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A recent act of kindness on your part could take on special meaning this week. Also, look for signs of upcoming changes in both your personal and professional relationships. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Many of the tougher communication barriers between you and others in the workplace or at home could begin breaking down this week. Expect some surprises to emerge. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your “tough love” attitude toward someone you care for could be misunderstood. Try to be less judgmental and show more consideration in the way you relate to that person. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) An unexpected workplace challenge could be daunting. But take what you know (and you know more than you realize) and apply it to the problem, and you should see positive results. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Recent relationship changes for both single and paired Pisces continue to influence much of your week. Keep your focus on developing the positive aspects as you move along. BORN THIS WEEK: You set your goals with assurance and influence others to follow suit. You would be an excellent philosopher and teacher.

WEEKLY FUNNIES
By Samantha Weaver • It was Canadian actor and comedian Leslie Nielsen who made the following sage observation: “Doing nothing is very hard to do ... you never know when you’re finished.” • A 22-year-old man who was trying to board a flight in Cairo, Egypt, bound for Saudi Arabia was recently stopped by security officers when the X-ray of his hand luggage showed some strange results. It seems that the man was attempting to transport 250 baby crocodiles and -- wait for it -- a live cobra. (Animal lovers will be pleased to learn that the creatures were not harmed; they were turned over to the Cairo Zoo.) • In Thailand, it is illegal to step on any of that nation’s currency. • Are you a cacographer? You may not be, but if you spend any time at all online you’ve certainly run across a few. A cacographer is someone who can’t quite grasp the rules of spelling. • Researchers in Greece who recently completed a study on napping found that men who nap at least three times a week were at a 37 percent lower risk for heartrelated death. So now you have an excuse to do what you want to do anyway. • If you’ve ever had to navigate the transportation systems throughout Walt Disney World in Florida, you might not be surprised to learn that the theme park complex covers 47 square miles. To put the figure in perspective, that’s twice the size of Manhattan Island. • It’s possible for a nectarine tree to grow from a peach pit, and vice versa. • A man named Robert Boyd entered a lingerie shop and attempted to hold up the store using a Japanese sword. A fan of video games, Boyd claimed in his defense that at the time of the holdup, he believed he was an elf. (c) 2009 King Features Synd., Inc.
Thought for the Day: “Only the madman is absolutely sure.” -- Robert Anton Wilson
Two guys were in a bar, and they were both watching the television when the news came on. It showed a guy on a bridge who was about to jump, obviously suicidal. “I’ll bet you $10 he’ll jump,” said the first guy. “Bet you $10 he won’t,” said the second guy. Then, the guy on the television closed his eyes and threw himself off the bridge. The second guy hands the first guy the money. “I can’t take your money,” said the first guy. “I cheated you. The same story was on the five o’clock news.” “No, no. Take it,” said the second guy. “I saw the five o’clock news too. I just didn’t think the guy was dumb enough to jump again!” What’s another word for thesaurus? What would we have called the color orange if it wasn’t a fruit? After eating, do amphibians have to wait one hour before getting out of the water? How can there be self-help “groups”? If white wine goes with fish, do white grapes go with sushi? If a mute swears, does his mother make him wash his hands with soap? If someone has a mid-life crises while playing hide & seek, does he automatically lose because he can’t find himself? If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, is it considered a hostage situation? Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure? Is there another word for synonym? Q: How many presidential campaign staff does it need to change a light bulb? A: 220! One to write a speech about how good it will be when the bulb is actually changed, one to write a speech about why the other candidates can’t even spell “light bulb”, eighteen to find out what the other candidates did when the light bulb failed, and another two hundred to find out what the other candidate’s families think about light bulbs, bulbs, pear-shaped objects, light in general, and any form of energy. The farmer’s son was returning from the market with the crate of chicken’s his father had entrusted to him, when all of a sudden the box fell and broke open. Chickens scurried off in different directions, but the determined boy walked all over the neighborhood scooping up the wayward birds and returning them to the repaired crate. Hoping he had found them all, the boy reluctantly returned home, expecting the worst. “Pa, the chickens got loose,” the boy confessed sadly, “but I managed to find all twelve of them.” “Well, you did real good, son,” the farmer beamed. “You left with seven.”

(303) 234-5150 Claud Cement Company An Irishman walks into a bar in Dublin, orders three pints of Guinness and sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three more. The bartender asks him, “You know, a pint goes flat after I draw it; it would taste better if you bought one at a time.” The Irishman replies, “Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in America, the other in Australia, and I’m here in Dublin. When we all left home, we promised that we’d drink this way to remember the days when we drank together.” The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there. The Irishman becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way: ordering three pints and drinking them in turn. One day, he comes in and orders two pints. All the other regulars notice and fall silent. When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says, “I don’t want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your great loss.” The Irishman looks confused for a moment, then a light dawns in his eye and he laughs. “Oh, no,” he says, “Everyone’s fine. I’ve just quit drinking.”
