They have had a bunch of stories about them in the past and seem a lot more open about things than I ever would be in their position.  There are so many questions  I would have for them but this being I2 I have to start with how many tits do they have

There's a documentary out there about them. Saw it years ago; it's interesting.

Could it be because it says Jack's name next to the post?  :tard:

Organ distribution

Abigail and Brittany have individual organs in the upper part of their body, while most of them located at or below the level of the navel are shared, the exception being the spinal cord.[6]
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

It's amazing what they've accomplished, but this would have to be my biggest nightmare...can you imagine not being able to ever get away from someone and be alone, even for a minute? I'd want someone to shoot me. :zombiefuck:
