Twin Trouble

Ever have a pain in your stomach and wonder what you ate that set it off? A 9 year old girl in Greece did, and the answer was not quite what anyone suspected. Was it a bad piece of cheese? A tumor? No, it was her twin.

My sister was bad, so I ate her.

As a twin myself, I find this story doubly disturbing (pun 100% intended). The doctors found an embryo for her twin that she had absorbed way back in the womb. It was a 1 in 500,000 chance of that happening to anyone. Imagine going 9 years of your life before anyone knows that you absorbed your twin. You expect them to throw you a dose of pepcid or something, and then, bam, shocker, you've actually got your sibling in there. That's got to be really weird. The girl made a full recovery once her twin was removed from her.
