Walk like an Egyptian!

Take your meds, OP.

Good to know they're still alive.

R2 Agreed, I was curious to know if they're doing good. I'm glad to see they're happy an still healthy. They of course get a lot of shit but hey...they're strong people. Too bad they got an award for their bravery really. In many countries, they probably would have been killed. I also want to know what happened to the little girl born without a face. I'll Google it.

Didn’t they have a sex tape of them giving head to some guy? I know they’re inseparable but that just makes me want to hurl my chicken teriyaki and jasmine rice.

The girl is still alive too.

And no R4, I never heard that but then that's not something I would search for.

I never searched either but heard it from Shane Dawson.

The physical aspects of Siamese or conjoined twins are fascinating. Can they both manipulate their arms and legs? Say, if one has an itchy nose, can she scratch it or does she have to say "Oi! Scratch my nose for me".

I think it depends what they share. If one twin has the master switch to the body, and the other one is just attached by less important functions, then it seems logical that in that situation the one who has the master switch does the walking and arm movements.

Abigail Loraine "Abby" Hensel and Brittany Lee Hensel (born March 7, 1990) are American dicephalic parapagus twins; in other words, they are conjoined twins, each of whom has a separate head, but whose bodies are joined.

They are highly symmetric for conjoined twins, giving the appearance of having a single body without marked variation from normal proportions. In fact, several vital organs are doubled; each twin has a separate heart, stomach, spine, pair of lungs, and spinal cord.

Each twin controls her half of their body, operating one arm and one leg. As infants, the initial learning of physical processes that required bodily coordination, such as clapping, crawling, and walking, required the cooperation of both twins.

While they can eat and write separately and simultaneously, activities such as running and swimming require them to coordinate and alternate their actions symmetrically. Other activities as diverse as brushing hair and driving a car require each twin to perform separate actions that coordinate with the other's.

I have always thought that the one on the right(without any neck) is more of a parasitic twin like that Reba woman who the sister rolls around on a tray. But apparently I am wrong. I only wish the best for them, but what a horrible way to live.

What if one dies? Would the other one die as well?

I know each head controls the arm (and I think leg) on their side of the body.

I wanna know which one wipes their crack.

I swear to God, I've never had this thought before about them (and I've known of them for over a decade) but I really really want to know!

I remember when they went for their driver's license, and they each received one.

Like, I understand that they are individual people, but they share a body, so how does two separate driving licenses work?

So, im thinking if one of them dies, could doctors remove the deceased twin, and the organs so the other one could live? The alive twin would one have her working arm and leg though.

They’ll both die r14

R14 if they're joined at the pelvis then that most likely means they share some major nerves, arteries and vessels. I'm no expert but that would probably make it impossible to ever separate them without killing them.

R14, I'm sure they considered that when the girls were born, and that they're too intertwined for that to work.

Then again, medicine advances quickly, so it may be possible at some point?

I give you Lori & Reba Schappell conjoined country music singers. Performing their non-hit "Fear of Being Alone". Enjoy!

Upon their birth, the twins' parents decided not to attempt surgical separation after hearing from doctors that it was not likely that both would survive the operation. As they grew and learned to walk and develop other skills, their parents confirmed their decision against separation, arguing that the quality of life for the surviving twin or twins living separately would be less than their quality of life as conjoined people.[

The twins have individual organs in the upper part of their body, while most located at or below the level of the navel are shared, the exception being the spinal cord.

2 heads

2 spines merging at the coccyx and joined at the thorax by sections of ribs. Surgery was employed to correct scoliosis.

2 completely separate spinal cords

2 arms (originally 3, but rudimentary central arm was surgically removed, leaving central shoulder blade in place)

1 broad ribcage with 2 highly fused sternums and traces of bridging ribs. Surgery was employed to expand the pleural cavities.

2 breasts

2 hearts in a shared circulatory system (nutrition, respiration, medicine taken by either affects both)

4 lungs with the medial lungs moderately fused, not involving Brittany's upper right lobe; three pleural cavities

1 diaphragm with well-coordinated involuntary breathing, slight central defect

2 stomachs

2 gallbladders

1 liver, enlarged and elongated right lobe

Y-shaped small intestine, which experiences a slightly spastic double peristalsis at the juncture

1 large intestine (one colon)

3 kidneys: 2 left, 1 right

1 bladder

1 set of reproductive organs

2 separate half-sacrums, which converge distally

1 slightly broad pelvis

2 legs

Their disparate heights (Abby, 5 ft 2 in (1.57 m), is taller and longer of leg than Brittany, 4 ft 10 in (1.47 m) led to difficulty in balancing a Segway, as shown in their 2012 reality series.

Those two are lucky. At least they're the same race!

So if they have intercourse do they share the exact same orgasm but being that they share different brains have different reactions? Could one think it was great and the other think the guy was a lousy lay? If they get pregnant do they share the baby or does one have it but they both give the same birth and who is really the mother?

Autistic conjoined twins, one gay, one straight. These guys must've been mass-murdering dictators in their past lives.

Some of you people are sick. They’re wonderful human beings.

Fuck you, R24.

They're deformed freaks.

Barf, straight guys let anything with a pussy near their dick.

Thanks for the deets, R20.

I'm a visual person, so here's a pic for everyone:

Is Brittany the one on their left (our right), who's at an angle?

Yikes, sucks to be her. She must have constant neck pain.

Btw, OP? Awesome thread title, worthy of the DL of old!

R26 you're an idiot if you thought for even a second that the pic is real. The back of the bra looks like it was done in Microsoft Paint ffs

And this is why I’m pro choice. Poor creature.

So if their circulatory system is shared that would mean if one died so would the other.

The one on the left looks happy.

The one on the right isn't.

[quote]So if their circulatory system is shared that would mean if one died so would the other.

I don't think so if they performed separation surgery. They can hook them up to a machine (much like they do for a heart transplant), separate, and the more viable twin hopefully will survive. Definitely, I think one will die, but if there is a machine keeping the system working during separation/death of one, it should work.

I believe as they get older one twin will want to not live that way. I think it's the one on the right.

Bitches stole our act!

The one on the right wants it to end.

I am the one who said up thread that the one on the right seems to be basically a parasitic twin to the one on the left.

I feel better knowing that I am not the only one who thinks the shorter one is more or less just hanging on the larger one.

Before anyone claps back, I know that not everyone feels that way. In the pitiful case of Reba and her sister, The ambulatory one is a saint to have lived her entire life in that uncomfortable position having to roll Reba around with her. She was given the option to separate, but knowing that would mean the likely death of Reba, she declined. It would be a blessing if Reba died while walking twin could still enjoy a few years of freedom. Or will she be too old to survive the separation?

I’ve got a disjoined brother who feels like my parasitic twin.

Every generation has their own set of freaky conjoined twins.

R37 are you basing this on one photo? Or have you watched interviews with them?

Peter Griffon had a parasitic twin on his left.

There is no way any doctor could do separation surgery on those girls. They'd literally have to cut the whole body in half, and if they even lived (which they probably wouldn't) each person would just be one arm, one leg and a head. One would obviously have to live with no way to void waste other than through a bag strapped to her side since they only have one urinary tract and rectum. They'd both be wheelchair bound and I can't believe either of them would want to live that way. And how would they even come up with enough skin to cover the huge gaping open wound separation surgery for them would create?

Nah, that ain't gonna happen.

With one bladder/rectum, how does waste disposal work? Who decides the crucial toilet question?

Separation surgery might have been possible when they were babies. Much less cutting required. But not now.

If you watch YouTube videos of them you can tell the one on the left is the dominant one and is probably resentful of having the other one latched into her. The shorter one seems so meek. How the hell doesn’t she have neck pain? She can’t even turn her head it seems. The left one seems like a total bitch.

sing it!!!

That midget on the stool singing refers to herself as George now. Yes.....TRANSgendered.

I feel so bad for them, OP. I don't think it's a laughing matter. Their parents were cruel, this is no life to live. Better to at least try separation and maybe one will survive than putting both through hell in a very long, painful and cruel life.

Watch some video footage of them, r48. They’re more or less as happy as anyone else. Even though they have separate brains and personalities they are virtually telepathic as each intuitively knows what the other is feeling and thinking most of the time. I think if one was unhappy or wanted to develop a more independent and private sense of self she’d start reading a lot because then she’d have all kinds of new ideas and perspectives running through her mind that her twin couldn’t grasp unless she read all the same things, but I don’t see that kind of discord happening in their relationship. They’re two halves of the same whole and they don’t mind working in tandem because they’ve never known anything else. I think even if full separation and medical regeneration of new body parts to let them be whole individuals were possible they’d still turn it down.

I’m pro-choice and don’t think I’d have personally carried such a pregnancy to term if I were their mother but in this instance it does seem to have worked out as well as one could hope for and I hope they continue to live healthy, happy, productive lives.

Their parents were cruel. Or Catholic.

Those are one and the same thing. But I assume you meant that.

Catholic fuckers.

Even the Westboro Baptists have more compassion.

The Catholic parents are under the illusion that God has created a special place in heaven because they have done his will by creating a two-headed child on Earth.

Stop making fun of these poor girls!

Well certainly don't look at them as if they had two heads.

I assure you, R53, there is no fun here.

Your anger should be directed at the parents!

Anger at their parents for not aborting them R55?

Those girls are alive. They could have committed suicide. But they’re still here, trying to make the best of their lives, and non fuckwad people should be supporting them.

[quote]There is no way any doctor could do separation surgery on those girls.

I think Abby and Britney can be separated.

[quote] They'd literally have to cut the whole body in half, and if they even lived (which they probably wouldn't) each person would just be one arm, one leg and a head.

I rather have one arm/leg than to share a whole body. Most likely, the twin on to our right would have to die in order, because the one on the left is better developed.

[quote] One would obviously have to live with no way to void waste other than through a bag strapped to her side since they only have one urinary tract and rectum.

That's most likely the dominant twin's urinary tract and rectum.

[quote]And how would they even come up with enough skin to cover the huge gaping open wound separation surgery for them would create?

Skin graft.

[quote]I’m pro-choice and don’t think I’d have personally carried such a pregnancy to term if I were their mother

According to the video that I watched, there was no indication that there were twins let alone conjoined ones, so the parents never had a choice in this matter to abort.

Let's be real here, people like them most likely won't be born in the future because abortion prevents things like that from happening.

I am tired of all the bigoted, discriminatory Liveism on this thread taking attention from the truly noteworthy. Celebrities who had to go to greater lengths for the crown than merely missing a face or sharing a body.

Grow a brain, people.

They’re not catholic r52.

Oh, Patsy R60, I suppose if have to Google to find out who you are before I can understand your post.

R61 I don't believe you. The parents sound as brainwashed and dumb and cruel as Catholics.

Well I guess if you don’t believe it then they must be lying about their religion just to mess with you.

R62 clearly new to datalounge.

I wonder why they have had no new TLC specials? You’d think they’d want to cash in. I want to know if they have fucked or tried anal.

Wait, we have people posting here who DON'T know who Patsy Ramsey is?

Go away, foul newbies, and never darken our forum again!

When one dies the other will follow soon after. This is what happened to the Siamese twins who lived in the south during the civil war. One had some form of sudden death (heart attack I think) and the other one just lied there next to his brother and waited to die as well, which he did. Interestingly, they were actually from Siam (Thailand) and that’s where we get the term.

There is no way these two can be separated. Zero.

I admire how they push themselves forward in life despite this remarkable situation they find themselves in. Then again, it’s the only life they’ve ever known, but still. They obviously can’t ever have a normal sex life or get married, at least not in a sense any of us are capable of understanding.

There was a fictional film about conjoined twin guys who became rockstars. One of them was the stronger twin and the other was more parasitic. The weaker/parasitic one became a druggie alcoholic and in the end he basically died and the stronger one tried to cut his brother off with a handsaw and bled to death in a field. It was...an interesting movie. The identical twins who played the conjoined twins were hot.

The weirdest thing about the original Siamese twins, to me, is that they married a pair of sisters. So that's some really weird incestuous sex...

I thought that was odd too r69. How do you have sex? Shhh my twin and your sister are sleeping, they won’t notice we’re banging if we’re very very very quiet, now hop on.

Marrying sisters is not incest, as neither the twins nor the sisters are blood related. There are several instances of twins marrying twins, making their children not only cousins but genetically brothers and sisters.

I think Siamese twins are nasty! Please stop

Quite simply, as it was debated a few times on this thread: One twin would not carry on living. Both would die as death involves decomposition of tissue, organs, and cessation of blood and oxygen circulation.

Surgical separation would not happen after one death. Surgical teams spend hundreds of hours on the pre-planning of a separation. It is booked in advance. Medical staff rehearse every minutiae of the progression.

R71 that’s twins marrying twins. Weird but fine. It’s a little past weird when you share organs. Not that they shouldn’t have sex, if the rest of us why shouldn’t they. But you’d have to question the guy who was involved in this situation. What does he get out of it? Is it just kinky for him?

I wonder if they masterbate and if so do they both feel horny at the same time. If Abby is thinking about folding laundry and Brittany is thinking about sex what happens to them physically?

[quiote]I wonder if they masterbate and if so do they both feel horny at the same time.

I would assume so (both feel horny at the same time), since they share a single set of genitals.

They share a bladder, but I wonder if they feel different degrees of "urgency" as it fills up?

And I still wanna know which one wipes! Maybe they take turns every day, or just go by whichever side the tp holder is on?

Keep in mind that the original Siamese/conjoined twins, Eng and Chang, fathered 21 children between them. Even taking into account that the contemporary concept of privacy didn't exist back then, for the social/medical, to say nothing of prurient interest, it's a shame that no account of their married life, how they did the deed, exists.

What a nightmare. I like being alone...and they can never, ever be alone. What if one wants to sleep but the other doesn't? If one attempts suicide will it be considered attempted murder on the other?

Why don't they just remove the crooked head and let the other one have the body to herself?

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Was that autopsy photo really necessary? JFC.

I agree to some extent R75 that they would feel horny at the same time because they share hormones . So just like us they might occasionally wake up horny. I imagine they’ve learned to work out how to manage that over the years.

But what if one has sexual thoughts about someone at work while the other is just reading the paper. Does the one who isn’t having sexual fantasies begin to feel turned on despite not having had a single sexual thought? Because in this case it’s more an emotional/psychological attraction to someone only one of them is interested in.

Lori, the manly looking one who isn't the transgendered one (that's Reba/george) said she lost her V at 23. Reba/george would read books while Lori fucked. What a horror show.

[quote]I would assume so (both feel horny at the same time), since they share a single set of genitals.

Two different brains.

For all we know they don’t even masturbate. They are women after all. And their lives are so different from ours we can’t even begin to imagine what it’d like.

On the same vein, maybe they do in fact masturbate but do it consensually as they do everything else. Including clapping their hands.

R80, agreed! Didn’t know who or what that photo was. Looked at it for a long time before I saw who posted it. And now I feel sick.

R82 Jesus F Christ... thanks for confirming what we already knew... Straight guys will literally fuck anything. ANYTHING.

From the article at R82:

[quote]The twins not only had to deal with their birth defect but George was hiding a secret torment from his sister. He says: “I have known from a very young age that I should have been a boy. I loved playing with trains and hated girly outfits. I kept my desire to change sex hidden — even from Lori — for many years.” Lori says: “Obviously it was a shock when Dori changed to George..."

Wait a minute, so they're joined at the head and partially share a brain, yet one has a completely separate inner mental life and is able to keep secrets from the other? That's genuinely pretty fascinating.

So Dori (of Lori and Dori) decided she wanted to be a country singer and changed her name to Reba. Then Dori/Reba decided that since they liked to play with trains when they were young that she is really a man and changed her name to George. What a shit show.

What if one wanted to turn on her side while in bed? The other one would be in the air for god’s sake! Do they just sleep on their back all night? Oh dear....

Women masturbate r83. I had a friend who worked in a sex shop and women bought sex toys in droves. They weren’t necessarily shy about it either. They’d pop a big black dildo on the counter like it was nothing and leave.

I posted a cheap joke which I immediately regretted thinking how awful of me and that I'd be ripped to shreds for it.

I got so many ww's. I guess we're all not very nice here on DL.

After they changed WW, I still can’t work out where I can go to see them r90. I mostly post from my phone so is there no way to tell on here?

[quote]What a nightmare. I like being alone...and they can never, ever be alone. What if one wants to sleep but the other doesn't?

Their mother said they aren't morning people, and she thinks that's because they do a lot of tossing and turning to get comfortable at night.

bump

i bet if they have to shit they say stuff like "better go shit". while the other head says "ok".

According to the locals, they just need to devour a McGillicuddy to be cured.

[quote]After they changed WW, I still can’t work out where I can go to see them. I mostly post from my phone so is there no way to tell on here?

I'm on my computer [Windows/Firefox], and my WWs come up as little pop-up windows on the right side of the window. I can click on the X in the top right corner to close them, or click on the thread title to load the thread in the current window.

R95, what's a McGillicuddy?

Thanks r96, really appreciate it.

They had a third arm but it was removed.

If you watch more videos of them you see that not only do they finish each others sentences but they also frequently start sentences together in unison.

The video of the girls driving a car is priceless. It's amazing how they work in unison. One works the gas pedal and the other works the brake pedal. And they both work the steering wheel. Now that's a site most people aren't going to see in their lifetimes. A two headed person driving down the road.

R101 and yet they each have a driver's license, which implies that they could drive without the other which is obviously impossible!

Holy shit, they're 27! I didn't realise they were that old.

Teaching young kids is the best career they could have chosen, imo. Little kids aren't nearly as cruel as teenagers can be 😢

[quote]Women masturbate [R83]

Yes I didn’t say “women never masturbate,” I said they are women, and a higher percentage of women don’t masturbate compared to men.

For instance, 38% of women in the twins’ age group say they have not masturbated within the past year, as opposed to 16% of men.

Nor would I ever want to.

R105 I don't want to either.

[quote]16% of men

yeah right...

Have they ever had a boyfriend?

Do they fight over which hand rubs their clit? I bet it’s a really big clit too. Like a small penis.

One could suck the penis while the other sucks the balls.

R110 = threadkiller

There was a really interesting novel called "The Girls" about conjoined twins like Dori and Reba/George. It was pretty fascinating and covered sex, etc.

The review doesn't mention Reba and Dori at all. Where did you get that idea?

Because I read the fucking book r113. unless it was maybe about a DIFFERENT set of conjoined twins who were joined at the head, not facing each other and one of them is in a rolling chair while the other pushes it.

My favorite conjoined twin novel is Half-Life by Shelley Jackson.
