Twins with different skin colors — one black and the other white — have been born in Berlin, Germany. The twin boys, named Ryan and Leo, are the offspring of a mixed-race couple

Life imitates art.
Obama squared.
If they are from the same egg, split into twins of different color, I'd be mighty impressed.
Yea! Wonderful babies!! I wish happy times for the family.
I would have named them Bele and Lokai. (that’s for you trekkies out there)
There is no such thing as identical.
I do question the morality of a woman that could even fathom leaving 4 month old infants, and a slightly older child alone for more than 2 months to be on a reality show?
One likes Opera the other likes Hip Hop.
A single fertilized egg split after conception aren't identical twins?
I saw that happen in the UK. Two girls. Both the mother and father were biracial. One girl looked completely black, the other was blonde and white.
No. Why do you ask?
One likes Opera the other likes Hip Hop.
It’s worked well before.

WOW! Cool! Congratulations to mom & dad. Welcome to the world Ryan & Leo!
I think the identical DNA make it “identical”.
Since I'm an identical twin, I find it quite a shock my brother and I aren't identical according to you. Do you have any medical sources that confirm that claim ?
Since the egg split after my brother and I were we were conceived, I find it difficult to understand how our chromosomes changed.
Just wondering how you came to your conclusion
Ya think?
say all of that again, only this time in twin speak
Chimara?
Do you consider yourself the same person?
Are you even vaguely aware of the definition of “identical twin”?
Noun
S: (n) identical twin, monozygotic twin, monozygous twin (either of two twins developed from the same fertilized ovum (having the same genetic material))
He'll say it's a sign from God.
The correct term is idioglossia, which my brother and I never engaged in.
Though we have a couple of times posted on FR almost verbatim posts on the same thread within seconds of each other with 2,200 miles between us
Are you the same person?
It’s yes or no.
Are you cognitively impaired in some way?
well I hope one does not grow up to be a “typical white person” as defined by The One.
Both ways, why do you ask?
There was a show on TLC (I think) about a woman who had two different sets of DNA. The doctors said that she had started off as fraternal twins. She absorbed the other twin and it caused her to have this other set of DNA.
They are only half part of Michael Jackson: Black & White. The other half is boy and girl.
I'm not going to debate the long established medical definition of what a identical twin is with you.
That question you are asking is so obvious a straw man argument it isn't worthy of a response, but to help you understand the obvious
My brother and I have the same DNA (identical) but are two different people.
Identical twins are not clones as your question proposes
Alrighty then. Have a nice day =)
It’s all good. :)
My grandfather is an identical twin. Because of WWII, he and his brother were never really home at the same time for a few years. Well, on of their nephews, who was only 3 or 4 years old at the time, had never seen them together. They had leave at the same time and went to their sister’s house. The nephew saw them together and freaked out! LMAO He ran into the yard and wouldn’t come in until his dad told him what was going on.
Isn’t it also possible that the mother had sex with different sperm donors within days of conception?
My brother come to visit with his wife after my first son was born, he was about a year old. I has still not gotten home from work when he arrived. My son thought he was me and sat in my brothers lap as we always do when I come home. My brother basically played along after all my kid was one year old
Well, his wife sat down next to him real close and gave my brother a kiss.
I'm told by my wife, she had never seen a little kid give an adult a dirty look like my kid did to my brother wife, he threw laser beams at her. Who was this strange women kissing my dad???
I walk in the door and he does a triple look and jumped off my brothers lap as fast as cat, he didn't go near him for almost a day.
LOL!! That is really cute!
When the two twins grow up, only one of them can use “the n-word.”
Your the one who said there is no such as identical, right? Maybe I clicked on the wrong post. Of course I’ve never seen identical twins who looked completely alike.
LOL! ... LOL! ... LOL! ... LOL! ... LOL!
You will have different fingerprints, palmprints, footprints and, likely, many other differences.
Imagine at one time that was considered shameful ???
There was a story on some show that was exactly that scenario. I think it was in U.K. The twins were tested for some disease and found to be different DNA, the nanny state thought she had stolen one of the kids.
Unlike baseball, in cricket two batsmen are at bat at the same time.
These two used to get up to all kinds of tricks in friendly games.
Luckily for me, as the team scorer, we had prearranged signals to let me know who was who.
Dang, I sure could have composed that one a little better
DOH
It’s OK, I knew what you mean. That’s really neat! Too bad you don’t have any photos.
Interesting. CSI had a show about a killer who was
a Chimara. It’s the first time I’d heard the word.
