Conjoined Twins are just like you! (uh...except for the two-heads thing) watch!

metacafe.com — Abby and Brittany are two normal teenage girls...except, of course, they share the same body. No matter how different they may look to the rest of us they live an incredibly normal life, including driving, schoolwork and of course, the internet!

  • flamingmb, on 10/12/2007, -3/+95Do they each contol their half of the body? I wonder if they have ever gotten into a fist fight?
    • sockpuppets, on 10/12/2007, -8/+51Heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time.
    • HoosbinPharteen, on 10/12/2007, -23/+186Ok lets ask the real questions here......does this count as two chicks at the same time?


      and I wonder if they're single.
    • ForrestGump, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26it would be preaty usefull to have two heads in some cases... like school
      I'd like to see what people would say when these to start their SAT test

      "... im sorry but you're gonna have to take the test seperately, it wouldn't be fair with the rest of the students... i hope you understand"
    • clownfart, on 10/12/2007, -3/+22Well for the SAT it would make more sense if they did it together since they'll be together forever(or until one dies).

      lol, how do they date? That's got to be weird. I'd also like to know if they each have there own side to control, or how that works.
    • xobecide, on 10/12/2007, -55/+21Definitely not two chicks at once... only one vagina. The entire point of two chicks is to see them make out or go down on each other, otherwise its just one on one sex with a lot to talk about after.
    • darkamster07, on 10/12/2007, -1/+41can they date one guy, or two? and when they get older, how are they gonna get married and have kids? who's kid will it be?
    • sonycam, on 10/12/2007, -4/+76What the *****

      What happens if one of them dies? Do they need to both die at the same time? What happens if one gets shot in the head? What about sex? How about eating?

      So many questions.... society really isn't ready for it... I want to know more though....
    • JonDiggsIt, on 10/12/2007, -53/+12FAKE!



      hahahaha oh god, sorry, i had to say it
    • kalleanka, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Everyone here says "they control half their body", but how the hell do they walk? Do they control one leg each? Wouldn't that get weird just controlling one leg? Or can each of them control both legs? What if one for example would like to run and the other want to stay still?
    • OpenFuture, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20If only one of them slept would the other one ever have to sleep?
    • da_bradler, on 10/12/2007, -3/+25More importantly how many boobs do they have? this might be total recall but in real life, better get arnold down there
    • shinynew, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9I wonder if they do drugs/drink that must be one of the craziest experiences, what if one of them sneaks drinks without the other one knowing that would be crazyness.
    • david76, on 10/12/2007, -1/+26To answer your questions, since I've seen a few documentaries on these two girls. Yes, they each control one leg and one arm. In the most recent documentary, they just passed their driver's test. So they do drive. One controls the gas, the other the brake. One handles the blinkers, the other steers. It's pretty amazing. Think about it, they have two brains, but they manage to coordinate a lot of activities without communicating.
    • ruslanr, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6@xobecide

      you're one sick dude.
    • Waterrat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I saw a program about them when they were younger. it's nice to see they are doing so well.
    • SatanicPengiuns, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1666934/
      http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1666935/

      They both have seperate IMDB Profiles.....................................................................
      Its like that movie with Greg Kenier? and Matt Damon, they hide one as a bush while the other acts lol
    • danmanmktng, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0a bit sad, but at least they seem happy
    • simpleid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I bet personal sexual experiences are extremely awkward.
  • wisedude, on 10/12/2007, -1/+68How do they walk? How the HELL do they co ordinate so well? It looks like each controls a half..... imagine typing!
    • shinynew, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1They had a clip of that, it must be the hardest thing in the world, If they only controlled one half.
    • CannedMango, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Since they've been like that since they were born, it's all they know. Their brains would have developed within those limitations/circumstances and walking for them would eventually become as natural as it is for anyone else. I wonder how their nervous system works... if they share all sensations and pain. If one burns her hand on the stove, does the other feel it? Sounds like a painful way to piss off your sister...
    • loze, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1RE: typing
      I saw this when it was on TV and there was a scene when they were chatting online. They said that they say out loud what they want to say, and then type it together.
    • mapkinase, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1One of them dominates the other in every activity. Some activities are responsibilities of one head, some - of another. It was pretty clear in the video.

      Also: in general - the right one dominates the left one (if you look them in the face).
    • Aeiri, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"Sounds like a painful way to piss off your sister..."

      I can't imagine them getting angry at each other... most situations need time to diffuse away from the other person... I think it's best for both of them if they both try not to get angry, ever.

      How would punishment work in a situation like this, as well? One falls asleep in class, does the teacher give both a detention? What if one goes absolutely insane and kills someone, does the other have to go to prison/mental institution as well? Being in a big padded room with a crazy person on your shoulder might make you go crazy, too.

      Then what if one just commits suicide? What will happen to the other? Will she FEEL the pain in the brain, yet still be alive?

      So many questions, so little answers in this short video...
  • BETA7, on 10/12/2007, -97/+3lol one can type one side while the other the other its not hard and as for coordination umm i think they can both take or loose control over the body i mean theres no way one goes with the other half lol
    • strictnein, on 10/12/2007, -1/+77Man alive... what the ***** did that mean? Learn to form complete and coherent sentences.
    • cheesy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21No, each of them controls half of their body, I watched the whole TLC program, pretty interesting.

      When they drive one of them takes control of the shifter, pedals, windshield wipersand radio while the other one does the turn signal, and lights, and they both share the wheel.

      I imagine they're pretty good at typing with one hand, I'm guessing they just each take turns.
    • anonatron, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Jesus ***** Christ, LOOSE is not the word you are looking for, your shoelaces can be loose, you do not loose something. Do they teach you basic spelling in the trailer park or did they cut that class to make room for "repairing the v6 on your 1987 camaro while drunk"?
  • Scik, on 10/12/2007, -29/+5Horrible I know, but I laughed.
  • polishswimmer, on 10/12/2007, -24/+8So... is that a threesome?
  • causticwindow, on 10/12/2007, -23/+15how do they rub one out?
  • alienSkull, on 10/12/2007, -29/+13I'd hit it.
    • nofxjunkee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6You can't help but wonder how dating and eventually sex is going to work for them. It could get awkward if one of their boyfriends cheats with the other one!

      There are a ton of questions you could ask these girls (and I don't just mean about sex).
  • gollumu, on 10/12/2007, -29/+2It is truly awesome and inspiring and hard to fathom how they are able to co-ordinate and balance out the differences. I also bookmarked it at http://www.vidli.com
    I think this is something worth bookmarking and viewing for later.
  • chuckayoub, on 10/12/2007, -21/+7I wonder if they use Digg and dug this video...
    • Rikkochet, on 10/12/2007, -1/+27If I was ever likely to be in the public eye, and therefore make a Digg front page story, I'd avoid Digg like the plague and spare myself the horrible things people usually put in the comments box...
    • benjic, on 10/12/2007, -15/+83Would they get 2 diggs or 1?
    • chuckayoub, on 10/12/2007, -26/+3I wonder why people were negative digging my comment - I was trying to bring attention to the fact that they may use this site so people should watch what they say. I guess I went about it the wrong way. Tough crowd.
    • shinynew, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10I wonder why everyone also asks why people dugg down their comments, its not going to help, it can only make you more dugg down and look like a whiny bitch.
    • mapkinase, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2to ghe guy with +50. People do not digg, nicknames do
  • Crockpot, on 10/12/2007, -4/+27Completely amazing! I'm amazed how normal of life they live dispute the circumstances. This video also reminds me how lucky I am that I don't have face these challenges. Simply inspiring.
    • scratched, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13You're not lucky. They're unfortunate.

      You're the norm, they are not, so you are not "lucky", it's the exact opposite.
    • nofxjunkee, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Your absolute scale is nice there but unfortunately it's a relative thing. Compared to them, all of us with one head per body are lucky. I always think how lucky I am to be a healthy human being that was born in Canada. If you don't think it's lucky to be normal like everyone else, you're sorely mistaken. We are lucky AND they are unfortunate, though they seem to cope well enough with 2 heads.
  • kasted, on 10/12/2007, -13/+5do they have 2 digg accounts, or 1?
  • quiltmaster, on 10/12/2007, -12/+7It looks like one of them was controlling the whole body and the other was a head and an arm kinda tacked on. I wonder if they can both feel all of the body.
  • bristevens, on 10/12/2007, -1/+31Well, two heads are better than one.
    • CorpT, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12They could be the heads of a major corporation.
    • nofxjunkee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10They're certainly on their way to getting ahead in life.
  • x1987x, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16...if one was a crack addict, then the other one would be too
  • milarepa, on 10/12/2007, -11/+50!!!!!!!
    • milarepa, on 10/12/2007, -7/+40give me a break, I was speechless.

      But you're right "I'd hit it" and "does that count as a threesome" are much better contributions to the "evolution of man."
    • resplence, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2Dude, chill out.
  • KlayBorg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2They must be able to take control of the body, which if any unfortunate fights occur, could be difficult. They must feel the same things.
    • cheesy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2No they each control half of their body.
  • OpCzar, on 10/12/2007, -2/+33Ok, it's nice to know that they both have separate personalities and that they are leading a normal life but... I'm not really interested in the typical teenager routines. I want to know who's controlling what part of the body and how they cope with that etc. Sorry for being insensitive but that's how I am.
    • cheesy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The program is on TLC, watch it, it's really interesting. The each control their half of the body.
  • terplox, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5If one dies, then the other one also dies due to the fact that they share organs...
  • Sacrifice, on 10/12/2007, -0/+42http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abigail_and_Brittany_Hensel
    • scratched, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1What I really want to know is how many boobs they have.

      The wikipedia article doesn't mention that, but I'm curious to know, since they have 3 lungs, 2 hearts, and 2 stomachs. Would they have 2, 3, or 4 boobs?
    • Evari, on 10/12/2007, -0/+43 lungs and 2 hearts.... dunno about 3 full boobs but i reckon they'd have 3 nipples
  • Zanneth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Do they both have to take two separate driving tests?
    • OpCzar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3If they each control half of their body then I guess that the girl on the right will be the driver. Gas/break and steering wheel can all be controlled using only the right side of your body.
    • madgamer, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2depends. in the US the one on the left gets the license, in the UK, it's vice versa.
  • Pyloff, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Awesome. I'm happy that they can integrate and be accepted. I'm used to a less functioning type of conjoined twin but they are definitely beyond what I imagined was possible. It seems kinda nice that they can rub cheeks and be close all the time. That just seems kinda cool to me...
    • nofxjunkee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I just felt sorry for one of them when the other was yelling something to the teacher. Other than that I agree that they handle themselves pretty normally. Simply amazing.
  • marzbar329, on 10/12/2007, -14/+3Deep Throat time

    I digg chicks with 2 heads
  • R0BBiE, on 10/12/2007, -7/+3i feel sorry for them :( must be really hard to live like that?
    • Hermitwise, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Always good to pity people who are making the best of their life despite unusual circumstances, I salute your mentality sir..
  • sephiroth965, on 10/12/2007, -0/+30From the Wikipedia article: "Their nervous systems are connected and partially shared, enabling them to coordinate activities such as running and playing the piano." Technically their brains can communicate with eachother through their connected spines. Amazing.
    • Renork, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Not only is it amazing it is it very important as well. Hopefully these girls will take interest in the sciences and see the need to have their nervous system studied. Their brains are connected and by studying how that works maybe we will one day be able to connect any 2 brains together in our own way.
    • KingBelly, on 10/12/2007, -0/+41They have a front side bus!
    • mapkinase, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1To someone alluding to science. Unfortunately (for science, fortunately for humans), there would be much statistics. Statistics is crucial in that type of studies.
  • over900, on 10/12/2007, -10/+16So when "she" has an orgasm, which brain gets all the pleasure?
    • Superfluous, on 10/12/2007, -5/+78trick question, women don't have orgasms!
    • larsensaid, on 10/12/2007, -12/+16Just because your girlfriend fakes 'em doesnt mean they all do!
    • nofxjunkee, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I guess it's shared between both of them.

      What I think is a better question is can they share a taste? Or anything like sight, sounds, and smells? (obviously assuming that they're both not seeing or smelling whatever it is).
  • Karted, on 10/12/2007, -37/+7Man are they ugly.
    • milarepa, on 10/12/2007, -1/+40I'd confidently bet my life savings and my right testicle that they are more attractive than you.
    • steamedlice, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Some of you "deuces" should just shut up. One day when you have kids you'll (hopefully) become more empathetic and less pathetic.
  • SuperNick, on 10/12/2007, -1/+33I'm interested in their sex life.
    Very.
  • slut, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3does one do all the eating, so many questions........
  • Rain-X, on 10/12/2007, -7/+4Oh why wont my Wii play this?!?!
  • edzz, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1what-the-*****
  • Play, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Wow, I have no words. I don't even want to think about how dating, sex, and marriage is gonna work. I'd probably be less creepy for everyone if they were asexual or something.

    In comparison, this makes my Asperger's Syndrome not seem so bad at all.
  • larsensaid, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/87/Abigail_brittney_hensel_twins.jpg
    oh man soooo many questions! if one heart fails will the other be strong enough to keep the body healthy? could they outdrink me with 3 kidneys? How do you share a vagina?
    • psylence, on 10/12/2007, -3/+21"How do you share a vagina?"

      Very carefully.
  • Renork, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6We need a place to develop intelligent questions that a lot of us want to know and see if we cant find a way to pass it on to them through the internet.

    If we organize questions well and provide them with a good presentation maybe they will be inclined to speak with us.
    • steamedlice, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10"We need a place to develop intelligent questions.."

      That really seems to be the operative word for this audience.
  • Markie1006, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Two heads, yet they still cannot seem to resist eating and talking at the same time.
  • benabbey, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2well, I see that they can drive, but i bet getting through the DMV with two heads is hell...
    • MannyHills, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2What is on their driver's license picture? Do they have two IDs? They only have one pair of pants and I would assume one bag, so it would be kinda silly to have two IDs. But if they do have two IDs, do they each have the same picture of both of them or just their own head? I'd like to see that, as i'm sure the other head is still partially in the picture. Weight could be the same for both of them, but how about height? that one head seems to be taller than the other.
  • lasvegas, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9do they have 2 social security cards? What if one commits a crime (lets say she does some hacking while the other naps) they both go to jail?

    I guess I want to know if they are treated as one person or as two?
    • charlie55, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9the crime and punishment question is the best. you cannot jail the innocent one for crimes done by the other. what if one becomes a dangerous psycho serial killer? you cant make the other one spend her life in prison, she is innnocent. man, i could think about these questions forever. cancel all my appointments.
    • BridgetDS, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hm. Maybe with the coordination they would need to do in order to commit a crime, one could make the case that the other one is a co-conspirator.
  • theratdotus, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1http://digg.com/videos/people/TWO_HEADED_GIRL_2
  • zephc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6What's interesting is they appear to do school work separately, but I would think that because they are joined permanently, they should be allowed to collaborate - they always do/will in the real world.
  • da_bradler, on 10/12/2007, -12/+2would you have to chainsaw them twice in gears of war? cause if so that ***** just not fair
    • trunkster, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15You've been playing GOW way too much.
  • briangig, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14gives a whole new meaning to "I have two mommies"
  • CapeKid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5That's so strange..
    Who would have thought, private schools are so different then public schools.

    ...and the whole conjoined twins thing was a bit interesting.
  • bruggerA, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Dropping a Deuce must be really weird.
    • unleashedlive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21and huge... two stomachs, one exit.
  • vhold, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11More annoying questions:

    Do they experience totally separate hunger/tiredness ?
    When one of them wakes up before the other, what's the usual protocol?
    When eating a food that requires two hands like steak, who gets the first bite?
    If they take a plane, do they have to buy two tickets?
    When going online, do they chat individually as two people, or always as one?
  • fjacky66, on 10/12/2007, -8/+7There HOT.two for the price of one.
  • Kronos6948, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Man, what if one likes a guy but the other is disgusted by him? They obviously can't have separate love lives. Sucks for the one that doesn't like the guy.
  • Timjacobs, on 10/12/2007, -6/+5i'd hit that
  • iwankalot, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1kewl, you can get a knob job and nut slurp at the same time. I would like to see them get in a fist fight. that would be freaky.
  • ph3rny, on 10/12/2007, -0/+36They figured out dual core before intel and amd
  • Joshuarr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I feel two ways about her...
  • sunprema, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3These kids are amazing!..you need a lot of confidence and positive energy to live like this... and these kids are doing it with ease.

    Some comments in this digg makes me wonder what went wrong with the people here. Why dont you give some positive comment about these kids.
    Some of the weird comments have got positive diggs...and that worries me a lot.

    thanks
