But what exactly are this post meant for? To spoil people's mood or just to make FP This sort of sorts should be banned since its not useful in anyway. |

In Louisiana ... it's illegal to send a surprise pizza. Sending an unprompted pizza is considered harassment, but we sure do wish this would happen more to us! Triple check your address if you live in the Pelican State, or else you may be handing over a $500 fine. The Princess Diaries has officially betrayed us.

In Maine ... it's illegal to park in front of Dunkin' Donuts. You donut even know how much the town of South Berwick, Maine, loves its Dunkin' Donuts coffee. This law was enacted because the coffee and donut chain is a hot-spot and the parking lot can turn into a mega traffic jam. Talk about a caffeine rush!
|
In Nebraska ... you can't get married if you have a venereal disease. (That's a nice way of saying STDs.)
|
In Montana ... it's illegal to give a rat as a present. For many reasons, we sure hope a rat isn't on your Christmas list. In Montana, it is unlawful to raise rats except as food for reptiles, birds of prey or both.
|
In Missouri ... bear wrestling is banned. We all love a good bear hug now and then, but the real deal is outlawed in Missouri. This law was initiated on November 3, 1998, due to animal cruelty violations.
|
In Minnesota ... dirty tires are banned. Driving through Minnesota soon? Make sure to get your car washed prior, as dirty tires are considered a public nuisance.
|
In Michigan ... don't even think about selling your vehicle on a Sunday. It is unlawful to sell, trade or buy motor vehicles on a Sunday in Michigan due to religious reasons. According to the Wolverine State, time is better spent with family, friends or at church.

6. It’s Nearly Twice as Common for Twins to be Left-Handed than Single Individuals Why most people become either right or left-handed is still pretty much up for debate among scientists. There are some interesting statistics among twins, however, that shed some light on this subject. Left-handedness occurs in only about 10 percent of the overall population. Amazingly, being left-handed occurs at a much higher rate in twins. This may be due, at least in part, to the fact that about 25 percent of all twins are mirror twins and that mirror image twins are exact reflections of one another as discussed previously. This means that for every set of mirror image twins one of them will be left-handed.

5. Can Identical Twins be Both Cousins and Siblings? – Yes! If male identical twins marry and have children with females that are also identical twins, their kids will be both cousins and full siblings. This may sound confusing, but the fact is that children born from their pairings will be legal cousins and genetic full siblings. Two children are considered genetic siblings if the new chromosomes that each child receives come from the same genetic pool.

sisisioge:I thought is was a monthly thing o. OK no vex. I also thought that I had the right to post when ever I please not knowing I am under obligations to do so. |
teemy:If so then I wonder why I was banned for almost 48 hours. |
4. Mirror Image Twins are Twins that are the Exact Reflections of One Another It’s estimated that approximately 25 percent of identical twins will develop in the womb while directly facing each other. These types of twins are called monozygotic. This often occurs when the fertilized egg splits later than when it usually does for identical twins. This means they will become exact reflections. If one has a birthmark on the right cheek, the other will have the same birthmark on their left cheek. If one is left-handed, the other will be right-handed

3. Twins Can Also Be Different Races
If the parents of the twins are of mixed race, then
their eggs or sperm contain genetic material for
both races. If the parent is half white and half black
the twins can sometimes be born with different skin
colors. This is extremely rare, however, and is
considered a one in a million combination of the
parents’ genes. It should be interesting to note,
however, that as the rise of mixed race couples
continues to grow, as well as fertility treatments
that raise the odds of having twins, we may see an
increase in the number of twins that are of different
races.

teemy:Sorry o, I will do some updates soon. Those admin banned me for using the word se.x in this post |
hmmm |
2. Twins Can Actually Be Conceived by Different Fathers If a woman has se.x with more than one man when she is ovulating what is called Heteropaternal superfecundation may occur. The sper.m from two different men can fertilize separate eggs, which result in twins. Sper.m can remain alive and active in a woman’s reproductive tract for several days after se.x has taken place. Even though it’s possible, this phenomenon rarely occurs in humans. It is, however, quite common in cats and dogs.

1. Identical Twins Have Different Fingerprints Many people may believe that since identical twins share similar DNA that they also have nearly identical fingerprints. DNA, however, is not the sole factor regarding the individual design of each set of fingerprints. During conception, identical twins actually start out with the exact same fingerprints, but sometime between weeks 6 and 13 these specific traits begin to develop individually. When each of the babies begins to move, they start touching things around them, including the amniotic sac. This is what causes unique lines and ridges to be formed on each of the twin’s fingers. Other factors that may also contribute to differing fingerprints include hormones and the position of each baby in the womb. The result is a unique set of fingerprints.
