1Conjoined twins

Conjoined twins occur once in every 200,000 births, and conjoined triplets and quadruplets are so rare there are no confirmed cases. It is slightly more common, though, to have twins (conjoined or not) and an extra fraternal triplet known as a "pair and a spare". - Source

  1. RE: Fact# – 46 – TRRR: Diabetic class mate using his stabby-blood glucose monitor on everyone’s leg… with the same blade for everyone… as an adult I realise why the teachers/school hit the fucking roof

    Edit: the amount of people asking why it’s bad = the same needle is being used (entering the bloodstream) of dozens of students, one of which may/could have had a dangerous and transmittable disease or virus. All needles/sharps are one use only – don’t share!

  4. RE: Fact# 21 – TRP: Just had the thought, even though it doesn’t really matter, shouldn’t we find a better phrase than suicide bomber because most of the time they aren’t committing suicide, it’s more like murder by coercion/threatening family

  5. RE: Fact# 21 – TRP: Lol, reminds me of when I was living in Kunming and the serial bomber who’d been terrorizing buses that year accidentally blew himself up on Boxing Day morning while doing a final check on his bomb in the toilet of an expat cafe.

    Place was basically empty since the night before had been Xmas, so only he was hurt (died soon after of his injuries). Except my favorite cafe/restaurant shutting down for the remainder of the time I lived there, that’s an ideal ending as far as I’m concerned.

    Went back 12 years later and the cafe had not only bounced back but doubled in size in addition to expanding to multiple premises throughout that area, very happy to see them doing well.

    • Reminds me of the terrorist who tried to blow up a plane only for his bomb to tear a small hole in the side of the plane and only drag him out. The plane landed fine, he really did not

      • Similar to the Stockholm suicide bomber.

        He went into a crowded shopping street. Tried to blow the device.

        It didn’t work, so he went into an empty alley to check what was wrong. Kaboom.

        Everything caught on surveillance tape.

    • Why would a man confess to previous bombings when he’s dying from explodedness? I’ve always wondered lol. If I were that evil to bomb in the first place, I’d just be like fuck you world I’m in pain fuck yo secrets

      China says man confessed to bus bombings

      By Andrew Jacobs
      Nov. 29, 2008
      BEIJING — Police officials say that a man who died Christmas Eve after trying to plant a bomb at a coffee shop in the southwestern city of Kunming was also responsible for a pair of bus bombings there in July that killed two people and wounded 14, state news media reported Sunday.

      The man, Li Yan, reportedly confessed his role in the earlier bombings as he lay on his deathbed in the hospital, the official news agency Xinhua quoted the police as saying.

      Investigators, who later found explosive devices and a homemade gun in Li’s apartment, said they had also matched DNA found at the scene of both bombings.

      The bus explosions occurred just three weeks before the Olympic Games in Beijing, heightening fears that a terrorist attack could mar the Games. Two months earlier three people were killed and 12 were wounded in the explosion of a bus in Shanghai.

      Shortly after the Kunming attacks, a Uighur Muslim separatist group tried to take responsibility for both bombings, but investigators dismissed their claims.

      The authorities, according to Xinhua, said they believed that Li had been planning to set off his bomb, an ammonia-based device, inside Salvador’s, a café popular with foreign travelers and exchange students, but that it had detonated prematurely in his backpack as he left the restroom. He died two hours later.

      No one else was wounded in the blast, which took place on Wednesday morning. Although it is not clear why Li chose Salvador’s, the incident rattled Western residents, who have long felt immune from the crime and violence that is common in many large cities around the world.

      According to Xinhua, Li was released from jail in 2006 after serving five years for robbery, assault and vandalism.

  6. RE: Fact# 2 – Lina Hamilton and Leslie Hamilton: Until WWI, German was the second most widely spoken language in the US. There were many newspapers and magazines published in German, and there were even towns across the Midwest that would hold their town hall meetings in German so everyone could understand. My grandfather’s family was from Switzerland, and he didn’t start learning English until he started going to school because his parents didn’t speak it, even though he was born in Wisconsin.
