What's not right about it? Maybe the stupid comments the people were making on the hosting page, but other than that, they are just two people with one body. They were on a documentary on TLC last week. They are quite remarkable. They have drivers licenses (each of them had to take the test seperately) - they go to school, they have friends, they go to parties, they live a pretty normal life. Only the God in Heaven really knows why he does the things he does. He has a purpose for them and knows them, so I am not worried about them at all.

The wife and I watched that show. Manny, I felt the same way when I started watching the show. At first it just seemed weird, and not right. And I was thinking of (them) as only one person. After a couple minutes and watching how their English teacher made each of them do separate assignments. And how they thought totally independent thought of each other, I started actually thinking of them as two separate people who just happened to be stuck together. Each has a different personality. The way they could finish each others sentences and scratch itches that they could not even feel was totally amazing. They even had separate driving test. It really was an incredible show, and showed two girls with one body overcoming obstacles we could never understand. The coolest part was when asked if they could, would they want to be separated from each other. They both said no she is my best friend.

After the show my two sons came walking in my wife and I's bedroom with their legs tied together (like a potato sack race)
Pretending to be the girls in the show. And proceeded to show what would happen if they were conjoined and ever got into a scrap with each other. Each with control of one arm and one foot, they started doing what most brothers do and beat the crap out of each other while spinning around in circles. I laughed my but off...after I sent them to bed for not being PC, LOL

There are only two types of people - The Hunters and the hunted,
I hunt.

Oh! I saw a show w/these two when they were just little. I thought they were amazing then, but even more so now. How cool to see how well they've done and how well they continue to do now. There was no way they could ever have been separated...btw.

Manny, it doesn't *look* right, I'll agree w/you there, but I'm glad we've come alot further as a society as far as accepting conjoined twins like this. Too bad some people would just rather continue to stick them in the circus freak show.
