I knew about Chang & Eng, since they lived in North Carolina...

Chang and Eng certainly had interesting lives Siamese twins.

They both married and had twenty-two children. But it is wonderful that these Guatamalean girls were successfully separated, and prayers are needed for the two Egyptian boys, whose cases are much more difficult because they share brains. And I couldn't agree more with those who have remarked here that the only place in the world to take in and care for these babies is the Great Satan, the USA. No other country in world does what we do for the ailing. Saudi princes and any number of other Muslims come to America for surgery, rather than their own backwater countries. Why is that? /rhetorical question

As it turns out, Eng and Chang spent their lifetimes joined by a thin flap of skin at the chest which would have been a cinch for surgeons to incise by today's standards. I wonder how they managed to get married and have children in that state. It must have been awkward to say the least.

GOD Bless the doctors and nurses, and the family. Yes, They do incredible
things these days. Thank God.

Amen!

Recent CNN promo photos make me wonder if Carville and Begala weren't
conjoined at the brain at one time as well.

LOL! I'm playing Ketchup on my replies. That's funny, thanks!

In fact, I just noticed that I just barely beat someone
else's post of that poll by about 4 minutes!

I should have known someone on this site would beat me to it... but I *was* going to suggest that the doctors now try their luck at separating Hillary from Karl Marx.
