Separated at birth

I always wondered if siblings could end up marrying each other without realizing it (no, I don’t have an incest fetish). I couldn’t think of any realistic way for this to happen. Fortunately, I don’t have to wonder any more. Apparently, twins who were separated at birth in Britain married each other without realizing that they were related, and only after they were married did they find out that they were brother and sister. Of course, this leads me to wonder how long after the marriage they got the news…ew.

That’s my random news story of the day/week/month/eon. Enjoy.

    No worries, the English don’t actually have sex. They’re kinda like Canadians that way. That’s why they welcome the immigrants.

    My thoughts exactly! I too wondered how long they were married for…

    I also wonder how many brain cells they have between them…thank god they didn’t spawn children. I mean, how could have have a twin and not recognize them? Did they look vastly different? And why don’t they show pics of the two?

    Bagel: That reminds me of a Family Guy episode. “We should have sex.” “Yes.” “But let’s not.”

    Stiletto: Must have been fraternal twins, but even so…my sister and I aren’t twins, but we look pretty similar. I wish the article was a bit more in-depth. I think they wanted privacy. Heh, I suppose anyone would after something like that.

    Nah, I’m not Canadian. 99.5% American!

    What are the chances? Part of me wonders how they couldn’t have had some idea, but who knows?
