Surgery not an option because there's only one set of organs. Wow.

Is reading bits and bobs an option?

Certainly not, and no one should be chastised for not doing so.

Your face should be chastised for crimes against nature.

It's not exactly a wonder people are discouraged from posting new threads, is it?

Was it a C-section? As coming out normally must have been quite the ordeal.

EDIT: Further questions:

Is it one person, or two?
Who controls the arms?
If one head, whilst on a tram or football pitch starts shouting bad things, how will the courts deal with that?
What if one snores?

Well, it's a bit's and bobs subject IMHO.

And it was already mentioned in bits and bobs.

And I'm bored so I thought I'd have a dig at you.

I saw this picture yesterday and have been thinking about it since.

It must be agonising enough to have a child with problems but how would you cope with this? Which mouth do you feed? Can each head think independently? Who controls the arms/legs? So many questions...

This is mind blowing..

There are some snakes born like that, but I can't recall much about what happened next. It did answer some questions, though.

Where does it say 'check bits and bobs before posting new threads' in the rules either?

Isn't it though? Given that they can't separate the two individuals, and assumign it survives that long, it will be the focus of much scientific attention in years to come.

There was something on the radio the other day about some conjoined twins who shared a bit of brain, and how they could tell what the other one was thinking. Really odd stuff.

I wasn't aware I suggested it did.

Whilst Zardoz was being a leetle bit of a knob, I hardly think there is some sort of anti-new-thread cabal operating on here.

I knew it.

This is off topic for this thread, you need a new thread to talk about that.

If Phil Collins thought it deserved its own song then I think it's worth a thread.

"nah Phil, not worth a whole song, nobody'll listen, better just lump it in with that one about stuff in the air tonight, yeah, save everyone a few minutes... no I'm sure it'll still sound fine and not like one lyrically incontinent mess, don't worry..."

Two persons, each controlling one arm. :)

I'll have to go back and watch this (and read about the baby) when I'm not at work. I'm now wondering about a lot of things too.... How about control for the legs? And breathing? bowel and bladder control? If one head dies can the other survive?

I really know next to nothing about conjoined twins.
