Mommy, I have a stomachache… May 19, 2008

Some posts just don’t require an accompanying photo.  Example…here.

Every now and then, CBS3 has a completely random, thought-provoking story on their Web site.  And here’s one of them.

Long story short:  A 9-year-old girl in Greece had a stomachache.  She decides to go to the doctor, who operates and finds that girl’s embryonic twin inside her stomach.

WHAT?!?

Apparently, this happens in one of every 500,000 births.  Now, according to WikiAnswers, obviously the most trusted source in embryonic studies, the population of the earth increases 200,000 every day.  That means that every 2.5 days, a twin is born in its twin’s stomach.

So, do I live in a rock, or do these twins just never surface?
