You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

And I'm also glad our sun is stable and nowhere near the black hole at the center of the galaxy.

Somewhere in the world, a bunch of street lugers are lamenting the fact that they're missing the opportunity to go really, REALLY, REALLY, fast.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sara, it's not so much a plot point as the premise. But yeah, I can see how it might squick. It engendered a couple weird looks from me at the screen.

Conceptually twin loses much of its meaning if they were neighbours, not roomies.

I just found a use case that the developer forgot to program before the code was frozen. Yay, me! I so totally am never the one to catch stuff like that.

Jeez, what's a girl have to do to get noticed around here?

I wonder if Jess is around. I'd love to see some pictures of her new haircut.

are they twins if they didn't share a womb?

I'm'a vote yes. Shared womb or no, the poor woman was pregnant with both of them at once.

If they were conceived separately, from ovulation in different months, I'd say they were brothers -- very, very close in age brothers -- rather than twins. if they were conceived at ther same time and the eggs just split up that way, I'd say still twins.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

All of the definitions of twin I'm finding include a phrase like "born at the same time" or "of the same birth" or something along those lines.

Is it wrong that I want to see The Wedding Date ?

I liked it.

Interesting. This is not bothering me at all because I just think of twins as coming from the same egg. Hmm.

Someone made something, or is eating something, that smells like a cross between a buttery biscuit and buttery popcorn. I don't know what it is, but I want some. Also, I've only been at work for an hour, and I'd like to go home. I did a bunch of stuff already. Shouldn't that count for something?

ita, do they still maintain the American Gigolo fiction that escorts exclusively service well-to-do, pretty women ?

Yeah, I hadn't caught that from the previews. So there was some recoil when I found out.

Fraternal twins come from two eggs being released at the same time. Identical twins are one egg that splits.
