    • gbarger, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1It's actually pretty common. My grandmother's brother had a twin inside him (when he was in his 50s) that they discovered when he was having heart problems. It wasn't fully developed, but it did have hair and fingernails.

      • moraldebate, on 05/16/2008, -1/+6Not that I have kids, but I'm pretty sure parents stop counting months at 2. There's a pretty big difference between a one year old and a two year old (at least in terms of developmental skills like walking and such) so it makes sense to have a more accurate measure of how old the baby is.
  • BigManOnCampus, on 05/16/2008, -6/+12So, if that happened to a 9 year old boy, wouldn't that mean a boy gave birth to a stillborn?

    • ZurMacht, on 05/16/2008, -0/+4Probably because 1 out of 500,000 is a lot, but you have to take into account thats only the population of twins... which is a very small number compared to the pop of the whole planet.
    • saikyan, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1My thoughts exactly.
  • MrAlexanderZ, on 05/16/2008, -2/+1The REALLY STRANGE part is that they discovered the twin when she went in for an abortion... snare and drum anyone?
