Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

 

Question

Ok. Heres a question for you.

There was this story on the BBC concerning a lady who gave birth to triplets. Whilst triplets are not overly unusual, the difference is that two of them were identical twins from one womb, and another was born from a second womb. With odds of 25 million to one, I'd start playing the lottery if it were me. Anyway....

My question is this. Given that two are from one egg (usually identical twins) and two eggs were fertilised at the same time (non-identical twins), can you call the three of them twins aswell?
