I don't think there will be THAT many more cases like this in all honesty!

I just don't like the thought of that to be honest - as in - I REALLY don't like the thought of it. Just imagine if they got pregnant before realising...

Do you think they had the conversation "... wow, that's the same day as my birthday. What are the chances of that?"

That guy NEVER has to work a day in his life again. He can just use the old line.....

'I can't come in to work today, I'm sick'

'How sick are you?'

You know the rest

Not so sure, there seem to be a relatively significant number of annulments per year, though I suppose the vast majority would be bigamy related.

quote:
Marriages can be annulled if one of the parties was under 16 at the time of the wedding, if it was a bigamous union, or if the couple are closely related.

The latest figures, for 2005, show 251 marriages were annulled that year.

Thanks!

I was thinking idly along the lines of the child of identical twins would be a clone of the parents & there couldn't be any "health" issues.

DOH identcal twins must be same sex......

You would have thought that the woman might have clocked on when she started to receive advances from a guy named Billy Joe Bob.

identical twins may be genetically identical but they still have 2 copies of each chromosome, so it is very unlikely that any (impossible) child would be genetically identical.

AT LAST! my degree comes in useful!
