My work here is done.
I was being wrong on the internet. I think the latest imbroglio on LJ gave me the dumb.
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

This is weird. An historian is claiming that Mengele went to Argentina and continued his experiments, and starting in the sixties, was able to do something to increase the number of twins born in a small town there. [link] The picture is making me really suspect, though -- if this were true, then you'd expect that, when he died or stopped giving out his drugs, the twin rate would have dropped back to normal, but that picture, which looks fairly recent, includes a bunch of little kids.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Unless the drug caused some sort of mutation?
Man, I could stay up half the night creeping myself out over not-dead Nazis.

I'd think that early sixties would be really early to be able to create a drug that would purposely cause a specific mutation, especially considering that he had to be working without much equipment.

Couldn't he just keep experimenting with different concoctions and treatments? Radiation here, who knows what there -- it's not like he'd have been interested in the safety or wellbeing of his subjects.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I swear today is the first time I've heard the word "yips" and now I've heard it in two contexts. The definition sounds so surreal.
Yips, or The yips is an expression describing an apparently baseless sudden loss of ability in one of a number of different sports.
Professional or leading amateur sportsmen affected by the Yips sometimes recover their ability, sometimes compensate by changing technique, or may be forced to abandon their sport at the highest level.
It totally sounds like a yanked out of your ass excuse. The definition went on to use words like "neuromuscular." Dude. Sometimes you start sucking and you can't stop.
I feel so uncharitable.

Well, Cândido Godói is a real town with a whole bunch of twins. I don't think they created the story from whole cloth.
