Twin Ironic Stories for 2009...

[Volpone]

Identical twins, born in different years:

Michigan Twins Born on Different Days, Months and Years

ROCHESTER, Mich. — They're twins, all right, despite what their spanking new birth certificates say.

Tariq Griffin is a New Year's baby, having entered the world shortly after midnight at Crittenton Hospital in Rochester.

Twin brother Tarrance was born a bit earlier — 26 minutes to be exact.

Tarrance Kyle Griffin Jr. was born at 11:51 p.m. Wednesday, followed by Tariq Lamont Griffin at 12:17 a.m. Thursday.

That means the boys have the unique distinction of having been born on different days, months and years.

The boys' father also is a twin.

Their mother says she is excited, but finds it weird that her newborn twins own birth dates in 2008 and 2009.

Both parents say the boys are doing well, which is their main concern.

And it turns out the dad is a twin.

Anyways, the other story is about identical twin sisters, having babies on the same day in the same hospital:

Memphis Twins Give Birth Hours Apart at Same Hospital

It seems like a one in a million chance, but twin sisters from Tennesee gave birth hours apart Thursday. The sisters said they didn't plan it this way, but see it as a blessing, MyFOXMemphis reported.

Martha and Dorothy McBrayer sat side by side in a bed holding their newborns at DeSoto Baptist Hospital, saying they were surprised as anyone to have delivered on the same day.

Martha wasn't due until Jan. 11, while Dorothy was due Jan. 3. Martha gave birth first on Thursday morning.

"I actually planned to come see her and the baby and then I started having contractions back to back," Dorothy McBrayer told MyFOXMemphis.

I just realized I have another creepy twin story, but I'll give it its own thread. Besides, having three twin stories would ruin the pun. :S:

Interesting part about the second. I've heard that when, in a group, on woman menstruates that the others kind of synchronize. I wonder if that's what happened there.
