Woman has twin babies fathered by different men

This happens about 20% of the time.

 

Your post made me think of this:

DAMN YOU ALREADY!!!!! STOP BEATING ME TO STUFF!!!!!!!!

 

I'm more surprised about the father/fiancee sticking around to raise both kids

 

Mwahahahaaaaa!

 

I study in europe in the 90's indicated that 20% of fraternal twins were by different fathers. Oops

 

Not a chance...your statistic is craptastic.

 

True, it is very rare.

My favorite parts:

"The twins' parents contacted FOX 4, wanting to go public with their story. Washington admits she had an affair that resulted in two babies, born at the same time, fathered by two different men."

“Out of all people in America and of all people in the world, it had to happen to me. I’m very shocked,” Washington said.

"As for the other father, she has no plans to tell him." (Does she not think that by going public that the father might realize it's his?)

 

Consider the fact there may be more than one other "possibility".

WHORE!

It can't be that uncommon, I've heard of a case where I live.

 

Must have been pretty crowded in there at time of conception.

 

I think it's funny that they call him the "twins father" when really he's only the father of one of them.

 

Imagine how your fiancee feels, smootbag.

 

Kid 1: "Daddy!"

Kid 2: "Jason!" (or whatever his name is)

 

Kind of a scray looking women, isn't she?

 

lmao!

After re-watching that video, she sure sounds proud of her feat.

 

Huh? What? It HAPPENED to her? No it didn't HAPPEN to her. Behaving like a dog in heat is what caused it, it wasn't something that HAPPENED to the smiling subject in the vid.

So, you ask, what would The Angry Pharmacist have to say about this?

Funny you should ask, his weekly column addresses just this problem:

 

Humans are strange. I wonder what Darwinian thrust lies behind the notion of those humans least able to support a horde of children but still pinch out a horde of children, yet in the richest, most developed nations on this planet have declining birth rates.

I understand the mechanism, but I don't. Have ten million kids with the hope that 1 or 2 make it to ten million more.

 

What is interesting is that sperm will attack and kill another man's sperm. And as I understand it is normal for some percentage to collect around the cervix, which would serve as an almost impenetrable barrier if it was two guys separated by a short amount of time. So the two coital events must have been at least a little time apart, enough for the first egg to fertilize but most of the original leftover sperm to die off. Then perhaps the other egg was released a day or two later and baby daddy #2 had a go.

I'm sure a doctor could elaborate.

 

What do sperm attack with? Guns? Really miniature swords? Ninja baddassedness?

It really isn't a glowing remark on the human condition when sperm can recognize enemy sperm and kill em. I recognize the mechanic behind it, but it is still pretty wild.

 

I wondered the same thing....

And, why isn't there a Discovery series showing 'Sperm Gladiators'????

I wonder whose would win between Chuck Norris and Sly Stallone????

Mike in Kuwait

 

Sperm don't kill each other.

In dogs, the seminal fluid forms a "cervical plug" that blocks access to the uterus to subsequent humpers. I'm not sure if this is true in humans or not.
